Atlético de Madrid continues working on giving the final shape to its team for next season, which is close to being finalized. With a month left until the final closing of the market, the colchoneros seem to have stepped on the accelerator in recent weeks for several players. These have come or will come to reinforce various demarcations of the field, demarcations disrupted after the departure of many players this summer.
One of those most popular red and white prospects is Conor Gallagher , a footballer who is very close to joining the ranks of Atlético this summer. The Englishman accepted the mattress offer, as did Chelsea , and his flight to Madrid is imminent, as is the official nature of the movement. In an operation that depends on many factors, almost like a domino effect, Gallagher is waiting for another movement to take place first.
Movements prior to Gallagher's imminent trip
The Briton is aware that for the operation to take place, he must first wait for Samu Omorodion to officially sign for Chelsea . The Spanish international wanted to continue at Atlético , but interest in Gallagher and Julián has relegated him to the background for Simeone . Having rejected several million-dollar offers for him at the beginning of the market, Atlético aspires to close the move with Chelsea and raise money to face other signings.
Gallagher , as we mentioned before, is close to finally traveling to Madrid and being presented with the Atlético de Madrid shirt. From the mattress entity, they estimate that all operations will be closed shortly and they are already planning the management and preparations for the respective presentations. While waiting to finalize the moves, Atlético is giving up one of the forwards of the future in exchange for two players already established in the elite.
Omorodion and the paradox of a goal... inconsequential?
And without that insignificant goal, at the time, in the first league matchday with Granada , Omorodion would never have become an Atlético player. The colchoneros won comfortably with a 3-1 scoreline, but the young striker did not go unnoticed and was signed a few days after the clash took place. Without knowing it at that time, that goal would move 150 million in the next market, having only been a transfer of 6 "kilos" to the Nasrids.
Frustration, but understanding
Omorodion 's dream was always to succeed in red and white, something that, if his transfer to Chelsea ends up being closed, will never happen. Samu is resigned, yes, but he understands the situation and the reason for his departure, a departure that also hurts Atlético de Madrid a lot. Without even making his debut, Omorodion will leave Atlético , where he hopes to return one day to succeed.
