Chelsea have a player in their ranks who would much rather leave the club on a free transfer next year than be sold in this upcoming summer window.
The transfer window is fast approaching for Premier League clubs, so how many incomings and outgoings will there be at Stamford Bridge this summer?
While it makes sense when a player like Thiago Silva walks away at the end of his contract, the Blues should want to avoid that situation too often.
Chelsea star would rather leave on a free than be sold
GiveMeSport claims that Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher is ‘disappointed’ that he’s being forced to consider leaving his boyhood club this summer.
It is explained that the 24-year-old midfielder could be sold to help balance the books amid interest from Premier League rivals Aston Villa and Tottenham.
The report says that Gallagher doesn’t want to leave Stamford Bridge. In fact, he’s got his mind set on staying at Chelsea next season, even if it means leaving on a free transfer next year.
Conor Gallagher at a crossroads
Even if Gallagher refuses to move this summer, his contract is about to enter its final year and there’s no guarantee that he would get an extension.
The Chelsea Chronicle would love for the club to perform a U-turn and offer Gallagher a new deal, but all the speculation in the papers suggest they want to sell the academy graduate to help themselves financially.
It’s heartwarming to hear how much Gallagher wants to stay at Chelsea, where he’s developed into a key player in the squad. However, he may need to think about his own future if the Blues refuse to budge.
Speaking via Football.London last season, Mauricio Pochettino described Gallagher as “fantastic” after one display. He would be an incredible purchase for any club in the Premier League.
