Fabrizio Romano has been discussing the future of Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher.
Conor Gallagher has entered the final year of his contract, while Chelsea have just signed Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Leicester City.
The above, then, could see the 24-year-old depart Stamford Bridge this summer.
Last month, it was claimed that Arsenal were interested in Gallagher.
However, not much has been said about a potential move to the Emirates since then.
Conor Gallagher attracting interest outside of England
If Gallagher does have to leave Chelsea in the current transfer window, a switch to another Premier League club may not be his only option.
The Englishman appears to be on the radar of one club from another European league.
In fact, according to Fabrizio Romano, that team are showing the most interest in Gallagher.
The transfer expert recently claimed on X that Atletico Madrid are the club who are most interested in the England international at the moment.
However, Romano has also stated that a deal is not easy because of the finances involved.
Atletico Madrid unlikely to get free run at Conor Gallagher
Right now, it has gone a bit quiet on the Gallagher front. While the likes of Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur were being heavily linked with him, not much has been said about their interest lately.
Of course, the Chelsea man is currently at Euro 2024, which may be slowing things down. He may not want to make a decision on his future until the tournament is finished.
Once England are done at the European Championship, you would expect a Premier League club or two to make a move for him.
Gallagher has experience in the division and had a very good 2023/24 season. There is no way that Atletico are going to get a free run at this.
During the previous campaign, he made 2.3 tackles per game, which was the third-highest average in Chelsea’s squad, according to WhoScored.
