Chelsea’s stance on Conor Gallagher ahead of the transfer window closing tonight has emerged.
Chelsea do not expect to sell Conor Gallagher today, according to HITC.
The same outlet claims that while Chelsea would entertain £50m offers for their midfielder amid interest from London rivals Tottenham Hotspur, they are not planning to part ways with him.
Gallagher continues to be a key player for the Blues, starting in their 4-1 defeat against Liverpool at Anfield last night.
In total, he has made 21 appearances in the Premier League for Chelsea this season, meaning that he has missed just one game so far.
Chelsea not expecting to sell Conor Gallagher on deadline day
Chelsea look set to keep hold of Gallagher, but there is still a possibility that he leaves the club later down the line.
The 23-year-old will enter the final 12 months of his contract at the end of the season. The Blues can obviously try and renew it, but if they have no success with that, it is going to leave them with a big decision to make.
To avoid the risk of losing Gallagher on a free transfer in 2025, they may be forced to sell the Englishman in the summer.
It would be a bit of a blow for Mauricio Pochettino given his importance to the Argentine this season. But Chelsea will not want to lose Gallagher for free, especially when there is a chance to make a decent fee from the England international’s potential sale.
