One of Chelsea’s projected biggest sales of the summer looks in real jeopardy of falling through right now.
It had been claimed that a deal had been agreed with Atletico Madrid over the move for Conor Gallagher, however lots has changed since that moment.
Chelsea were looking to bring in a player from the La Liga side in return, however the signing of Samu Omorodion collapsed at the final moments.
The Blues are still pushing down this line though, and have been linked with an extraordinary return for Joao Felix after his loan spell here in 2023.
It has all left the England international in limbo though. Gallagher has returned to Stamford Bridge for the time being as the move continues to stall.
Atletico Madrid fans beg to sign Conor Gallagher
Atletico Madrid fans seem desperate for their club to complete the deal, and have taken to social media to try and do what they can to help convince their club to do just that.
According to Atletico Universe, last night the number one trend in Spain on Twitter was ‘#GallagherRojiBlanco’, with them seemingly won over by the potential addition.
Chelsea look pretty set when it comes to midfielders going into the new season, with there plenty of competition for places even without Gallagher.
Enzo Fernandez named a vice-captain
Enzo Fernandez is set to be named a vice-captain of the club for the upcoming campaign, with it seeming as if he will play a big part under Enzo Maresca.
Romeo Lavia is looking to prove that he has plenty to offer in what will be the first season he is able to have any real impact on the side due to injury.
His impressive pre-season campaign shows he is pushing to do just that, with him definitely in the thinking for a start for the Blues for the season opener against Manchester City on Sunday.
