These are very busy hours in the transfer market for Atlético de Madrid. The red-and-whites, after closing the arrival of Julián Alvarez, saw how a signing that seemed assured became complicated. Chelsea, at the last minute, broke the agreement they had with Samu Omorodion and pulled out the sale of Gallagher.
The English midfielder had been in Madrid for four days waiting for his transfer to be finalised. He was training with a personal fitness trainer and staying in a hotel, impatient with the situation. However, yesterday Chelsea sent the player who is still theirs to London to train with the reserve team these days.
The fans demand it
Atletico Madrid fans are showing great excitement about the signings, but they want more. They know that Simeone needs Gallagher in his squad and they are doing everything in their power to get him to come. It is always difficult for an English player to leave his home country and Conor Gallagher has shown that he is interested in wearing the red and white shirt next season.
That's why the Atlético fans created the hashtag #GallagherRojiblanco and within a few hours it became a trending topic on social network "X". Numerous accounts published this phrase as a way of letting Gil Marín know how much they want to count on the Englishman. In less than three hours, the hashtag was positioned at number one in Spain.
Atletico are negotiating with Chelsea
After the agreement between Atleti and Chelsea with Samu Omorodion broke down, the red-and-whites proposed another player. Joao Felix was the chosen one to be the bargaining chip and to be able to make Conor Gllagher wear the red-and-white shirt next season. London does not see this operation with bad eyes and has already been negotiating for several days to be able to close an agreement.
Atlético there is a lot of anger at the way in which Chelsea pulled out of the Samu deal. However, Simeone is pushing hard to get Gallagher, as he considers him a key piece in his scheme. The deal could be closed in the next few hours and thus, the fans and Simeone will have the player they so long for.
