Diego Simeone Personally Assures Conor Gallagher of Atletico Madrid’s Desire for His Signature

According to a recent report, Atletico Madrid’s manager, Diego Simeone, has personally reached out to Conor Gallagher to convey the Spanish club’s eagerness to sign the Chelsea midfielder.

Gallagher’s future has been uncertain since he arrived in Madrid, with complications arising from Samu Omorodion’s proposed move to Chelsea. Despite the setback, both clubs remain keen on completing the deal, which would see Gallagher join Atletico on a permanent basis.

The potential transfer has gained momentum with the possibility of Joao Felix moving in the opposite direction. Simeone has taken a proactive approach, directly contacting Gallagher to reassure him of Atletico’s interest.

Simeone’s personal intervention aims to keep Gallagher’s spirits high as the transfer negotiations continue. The Argentine manager wants to ensure that Gallagher is aware of his importance to the team and his desire to see the deal go through.

Gallagher, who has been training with Chelsea’s Under-21 side alongside Romelu Lukaku and Trevoh Chalobah, has already agreed to personal terms and passed his medical with Atletico.

Atletico has recently signed Julian Alvarez from Manchester City in a deal worth £81 million and is now focused on raising funds through the sale of players like Omorodion and potentially Felix to complete Gallagher’s transfer.

Gallagher’s future at Chelsea seems uncertain, with new manager Enzo Maresca reportedly viewing him as a squad player. In contrast, Atletico Madrid is eager to make him a key part of their team.

Chelsea, meanwhile, has been busy in the transfer market, announcing the £54 million signing of Pedro Neto from Wolves on Sunday.

The Blues now have an impressive 43 players in their squad, with 10 new signings made during this window alone.

As the situation unfolds, Gallagher’s future remains uncertain, but one thing is clear – Atletico Madrid is eager to make him a key part of their team, and Simeone’s personal assurance may just be the push needed to complete the deal.
