Conor Gallagher’s time as a Chelsea player seems over, despite being a key player last season under Mauricio Pochettino.

A report by talkSPORT claims Conor Gallagher has been exiled from Chelsea’s first-team training, after the Blues return from the United States.

Gallagher is set for a summer exit from Chelsea, and has already agreed personal terms with Atletico Madrid.

The move comes as Gallagher is subject to a contract offer from Atletico Madrid after the clubs agreed a £33m deal.

Conor Gallagher will no longer be training with the Chelsea first team, as he prepares to leave Stamford Bridge.

Gallagher rejected two contract offers from Chelsea, as he believes he isn’t valued at the club anymore.

Conor Gallagher was subjected to persistent rumours that he’d be sold all through last season.

Chelsea proved that they didn’t see Gallagher’s long-term future at Stamford Bridge by giving him two short-term offers, which he rejected.

Despite an increment in salary, the contract length is an issue, with only two years guaranteed and one year as an extension option. This contract was reportedly turned down twice by Gallagher.
