It's been almost two weeks since the transfer market closed in Spain . A summer that, for Atlético de Madrid , will go down in history, as one of the biggest revolutions in recent years was undertaken. A large number of departures and arrivals were undertaken to form a more competitive squad that could fight for all the available titles and, with luck, lift some of them.
Among the long list of players who have joined Atlético de Madrid at the Metropolitano is Conor Gallagher , who arrived from Chelsea . The operation to get him out of StamfordBridge was not easy at all, in fact, along with the signing of Julián Alvarez , the incorporation of the Englishman has been one of the most complicated. Something that has been confirmed in an interview by Andrea Pelleatti , one of the intermediaries who was present in the negotiations of the player with the colchonero club and the Londoner.
Difficult weeks
The signing of Conor Gallagher took up a large part of the summer planned for Atléticode Madrid . The complications that arose between Chelsea and Samu Omorodion further lengthened all the steps that had to be taken for the Englishman to finally wear the red and white shirt. Everything was resolved when JorgeMendes appeared, who offered Joao Félix to the London team, and obtained the approval of all the parties involved.
However, Andrea Pelleatti said that "there were moments of great tension" but that "when everyone is willing, the interests of each person lead to success." It was at that moment that the intermediary confessed that it was "a very exciting chapter of the summer for them." Words that only serve to reaffirm that the Conor Gallagher operation will be remembered by Atlético de Madrid fans for years to come.
Success at Atlético
Whatever the case, Conor Gallagher is currently at Atlético de Madrid and is an important piece for Diego Pablo Simeone . His characteristics as a midfielder have helped him earn a place in Cholo 's eleven, and he hopes to be one of the great figures of the red-and-white team this 24/25 season. In addition, he has the affection of some fans who he won over from the first moment he stepped foot at the Metropolitano and fought for his first ball with his characteristic intensity.
Against ValenciaCF , next Sunday at 9:00 p.m., he is expected to start and, perhaps, play as an attacking midfielder alongside Antoine Griezmann and AlexanderSorloth in attack. He already started at San Mamés and had a good game, so we will have to wait and see if DiegoPablo Simeone decides to line him up again against Barajas ' team. That will be when fans will have no doubts and see, once again, one of the most exciting signings of the summer.
