According to an exclusive source from renowned soccer journalist Fabrizio Romano, Atletico Madrid FC and Chelsea FC are close to reaching an agreement on Gallagher's transfer. The news has sparked a lot of attention in the soccer world as Gallagher's future destination as a young and promising midfielder for Chelsea has been in the spotlight.
Romano has revealed that the two sides are in the final stages of negotiating Gallagher's transfer fee, which is expected to be between €35m and €40m and may include a floating bonus clause. The success of the deal will depend on Gallagher's own attitude and whether he can agree on personal contract terms with Atletico.
Atletico Madrid, for their part, have shown a keen interest in Gallagher and want to see him as an important part of the team's future. However, Romano also emphasized that while negotiations between Atletico and Chelsea are progressing well, talks on Gallagher's part are still intense. This means that although a transfer fee is close to being agreed, the player's willingness to join Atletico and his specific requirements for a personal contract will remain key factors in determining the success of the deal.
Gallagher's contract with Chelsea is set to expire next summer, but the two sides have yet to agree on a renewal. This situation undoubtedly provides more possibilities for Gallagher's transfer. For Chelsea, if they are unable to renew Gallagher's contract, it would be wise to sell him this summer in exchange for a sizable transfer fee. For Atletico Madrid, Gallagher's joining will further enhance the team's midfield strength, providing strong support for the team to achieve good results in the new season in La Liga and European competitions.
