Conor Gallagher looks set to star in the Spanish La Liga for Atletico Maadrid in the coming season as a deal nears completion according to Fabrizio Romano.
The England international midfielder has failed to reach an agreement with the Blues despite multiple talks taking place between both parties to find an understanding.
This has led to Gallagher edging close to an agreement with Atletico Madrid as negotiations with the Spanish club are underway for a total package worth up to €40 million with add-ons included.
Gallagher has been offered a contract renewal of two years plus an additional third year to be a squad player, an offer the player is not willing to accept with his current deal running out in 2025.
The 24-year-old midfielder was key to Chelsea’s run to the League Cup final last season, falling at the last hurdle to Liverpool after extra-time.
