Atlético de Madrid has no more time to lose to reinforce the midfield and is already waiting for a response from England. The favorite in the Metropolitan offices is Conor Gallagher, who should have given an answer at the weekend. However, there has been no green light from the Englishman and the red and white team has already tied up what would be its main alternative.
Just yesterday, Atlético de Madrid closed an agreement with Valencia for the signing of Javi Guerra in exchange for 25 million euros. Today, the colchoneros have received a response from Conor Gallagher , who was on the starting line. Chelsea forced him to agree to go to the capital of Spain , unless he accepted the last renewal offer they offered him.
Conor Gallagher, green light
The sports management wants to prevent the soap opera with the English midfielder from continuing to stretch unnecessarily. Atlético de Madrid has already reached an agreement with Chelsea for the player for 40 million euros in total. However, this operation is independent of what Conor Gallagher wants , whose priority was to stay in the Premier League .
The red and white team wanted a definitive answer from the player last weekend, although it did not arrive. Right now, Chelsea are continuing to pressure the player to accept the Madrid team's offer and leave London . In fact, in England they have even indicated that they would be willing to relegate him to the reserve team to pressure him into agreeing to leave .
Conor Gallagher 's other option is to opt for the Stamford Bridge team's renewal offer of two years and another optional year. Today he gave a definitive answer to Atlético de Madrid, while at the Metropolitano they had already closed on his replacement. Given the lack of explanations, Gil Marín closed an agreement with Peter Lim for Javi Guerra for the next season.
Javi Guerra, closed
The red and white team seems to have learned its lesson after what happened with Dovbyk and they do not want it to happen again with Conor Gallagher. Just yesterday, the colchoneros closed the transfer of Javi Guerra for 25 million euros , although with conditions. For now, the incorporation of the Spaniard continues to depend on what happens with the English midfielder in the coming hours.
Likewise, it is not ruled out that both players could reach the Metropolitano , although it is a less visible option. Right now, Simeone has a large number of parts in the engine room, being a very populated area . Everything indicates that the situation will be resolved today, announcing the third signing of the summer for the red and white entity .
