Conor Gallagher's signing is probably one of the most surreal that Atlético de Madrid has experienced in recent years. The English midfielder was already able to train with some of the red-and-white players and visit the Metropolitano. However, he had to return to London after his transfer was not completed and return to training with the lower categories.
In fact, the situation that Conor Gallagher is going through is not going down well with the press and fans in England. For this reason, the English international received an improvised tribute at the match that Chelsea played against Manchester City . Right now, the player's great desire is to be able to define his future and return to Madrid to start working with Simeone .
Tribute to Conor Gallagher
Since his name was linked with Atlético de Madrid , there has been a lot of criticism directed at the Chelsea board. Conor Gallagher is a youth player of the London team , as well as a key piece for the team during the last season. Therefore, the fans do not understand the attitude that the club had taken to convince them to accept his sale .
In this way, after being left out of the last squad, the fans paid him a well-deserved tribute from the stands. In the match against Manchester City , Chelsea fans chanted Conor Gallagher's name for 20 minutes . In addition, there are also many discrepancies in the media considering his transfer a mistake.
Journalists in England claim that the midfielder is the only one in the squad who understands what Chelsea means. Therefore, no one can understand the reason why he is being forced to leave Stamford Bridge . Whatever the case, the footballer is looking forward to his future being decided so he can return to Atlético de Madrid and start training.
Joao Felix has the key
In order for Conor Gallagher to sign permanently with the red and white team, a big sale is needed. Right now, Chelsea and Atlético de Madrid are still negotiating to reach an agreement for Joao Félix , something that is very close. The colchoneros wanted the offer to reach up to 50 million euros , although the English offer will be very close.
With this, the red-and-white team solves a serious problem such as the future of the Portuguese and will be able to reinforce the engine room. With the end of the transfer window in mind, Simeone has given priority to two signings, one for the midfield and another for the defence. The arrival of Conor Gallagher would be the penultimate hurdle in a squad that wants to compete for all the titles again.
