Conor Gallagher has returned to Chelsea after his proposed move to Atletico Madrid hit an unexpected roadblock. The English midfielder, who had been in Madrid and appeared poised to complete a £33 million transfer, has been forced to return to London as negotiations between the two clubs reached a stalemate. The deal, which was thought to be close to completion, was contingent on Chelsea’s successful acquisition of Spanish striker Samu Omorodion. However, that deal collapsed over personal terms, leaving Gallagher’s transfer in limbo.
The 24-year-old, who captained Chelsea for a significant portion of last season, was pictured at Atletico’s Metropolitano Stadium on Saturday, with the club even announcing that he was there to “finalize his transfer.” But the unexpected turn of events has left both clubs scrambling to find a solution. Gallagher is now expected to return to training at Chelsea’s Cobham training ground, facing an uncertain future at Stamford Bridge. With the transfer window closing soon, time is running out for both player and club to find a resolution.
