The signing of Conor Gallagher may be one of the strangest situations that Atlético de Madrid has experienced in recent transfer windows. The English midfielder has been in Spain for several days very close to confirming his arrival at the red-and-white team. However, the non-arrival of Samu Omorodion to Chelsea has stopped the operation and his transfer is now up in the air.
In fact, Atlético de Madrid are very angry with the London team, trying to find the best solution for both. Meanwhile, the Colchoneros have an alternative in the chamber to be able to reinforce their engine room this summer. The red-and-whites have already reached an agreement with Valencia for the incorporation of Javi Guerra, who was very close to travelling to the capital a few days ago.
Conor Gallagher returns to England
The arrival of the British international is a complete mystery at the moment, although his signing was completely closed. Conor Gallagher had already trained in Majadahonda and was at the Colchonero's stronghold with the Atlético de Madrid communication team. However, as the club reported on social media, an agreement with Chelsea was still being closed.
His signing depended directly on the sale of Londoner Samu Omorodion , something that has not ended up happening. In fact, there is some unrest in the red-and-white team after what happened with Chelsea , although at the moment all is not lost. Right now, the colchonero team is waiting to receive an offer from England for the signing of Joao Félix .
Meanwhile, Conor Gallagher has had to return to London to train with Chelsea's youth teams. At this point, Atlético de Madrid have an alternative to the Englishman, and that is that they had already reached an agreement with Valencia for Javi Guerra . The young Spanish player was very close to travelling to the Spanish capital to undergo the medical examination and sign his contract.
Javi Guerra, in the chamber
Before Conor Gallagher 's arrival, Atlético de Madrid's sporting management had many doubts about signing the Englishman. His intention had always been to be able to stay in the Premier League and renew with Chelsea, forcing the rojiblancos to look for an alternative. Therefore, an agreement was reached with Valencia , paying 25 million euros for the transfer of Javi Guerra , although it ended up being cancelled.
Now, with the Spaniard training with the Valencian team, this operation could be reactivated after what happened with Chelsea . The reality is that Javi Guerra has very different qualities to those of Conor Gallagher , but his projection is very high. In addition, his signing would be more affordable financially, leaving more room for the sports management to be able to reinforce the defense.
