Borussia Dortmund are monitoring the situation of Conor Gallagher at Chelsea after losing Jude Bellingham to Real Madrid.
That is according to Florian Plettenburg of Sky Sports.
So, what is the latest on Conor Gallagher at Chelsea? Let’s take a look…
What’s the story?
Well, the England international is believed to be up for sale at Stamford Bridge this summer – according to Ben Jacobs of CBS Sports, who shared the information on Give Me Sport.
Gallagher appears to be keen on staying at Chelsea, telling reporters after England’s 7-0 win over North Macedonia that he loves the Blues and hopes for a better 2023/24 campaign after finishing 12th last term.
However, the Chelsea No.23 may not be a part of the 2023/24 season under Pochettino.
Plettenburg believe Borussia Dortmund are big fans of Gallagher, and are keeping a close eye on his situation as the German giants look to replace Bellingham – and also Mahmoud Dahoud, who has joined Brighton.
The Daily Mail believe Chelsea want £50m for the 23-year-old this summer.
That would be a huge financial commitment from Borussia Dortmund, although the Bundesliga outfit have just received an initial £88.5m from Real Madrid for Bellingham, so they could be looking to reinvest some of that immediately.
Chelsea must sell Gallagher if huge bid arrives
In our view, Chelsea must cash in on Gallagher if an offer worth £40m or more is made.
The Epsom-born midfielder was very underwhelming throughout the 2022/23 campaign, scoring just three goals in 35 Premier League appearances as he struggled to assert himself.
Of course, things were a mess at Chelsea, and we would expect Gallagher to improve significantly under Pochettino.
Nevertheless, sometimes an offer can be too good to refuse, and the Blues may never get a better chance to make serious money from selling their academy graduate this summer.
Be sure to keep an eye on this situation, as Gallagher could be leaving Stamford Bridge this summer.
