According to well-known soccer journalist Romano
Chelsea
Midfielder Connor
Gallagher (name)
has verbally agreed to join La Liga giants Atletico Madrid and will work with the
Atletico Madrid (soccer team)
Signed for five years.
According to the British media talkSPORT and the Daily Mail and other successive revelations, the Chelsea side has informed Gallagher that he will be excluded from the first-team list when he reports to the team next Monday. This decision means Gallagher's Chelsea career is coming to an end.
Gallagher comes from the Chelsea youth system, having started training at Chelsea at the tender age of six, and has played at all levels of the club's ladder over the years. He went through a number of loan spells before officially breaking into the Chelsea first team in 2022. Gallagher also served as the team's on-field captain last season due to the injury absence of Reece James, demonstrating his leadership skills and technical proficiency.
With this move to Atletico Madrid, Gallagher is set for a new chapter in his career. As a young and promising midfielder, his performance in La Liga is highly anticipated. Atletico also hopes to further strengthen the midfield through this attraction, so as to be fully prepared for the new season's multi-front war.
