C onor Gallagher made his return to England on Tuesday night following a tumultuous five-day period in Madrid, marked by uncertainty over his transfer. The England midfielder is scheduled to attend training at Chelsea's Cobham training ground on Wednesday.
Gallagher’s return comes after his proposed £36 million move to Atletico Madrid encountered a setback. The transfer was contingent on Chelsea securing Samu Omorodion from the LaLiga side, but that deal fell through on Sunday. Consequently, Gallagher’s transfer to Atletico is now on hold.
Upon resuming training, Gallagher is expected to join a separate training group alongside Armando Broja and Trevoh Chalobah, distinct from the main first team. Despite having passed a medical with Atletico Madrid, Gallagher’s future remains in flux.
Chelsea is now shifting focus towards negotiating the signing of Joao Felix, although his higher valuation, substantially above the £34.5 million agreed for Omorodion, presents a significant challenge.
As Gallagher prepares to rejoin Chelsea's training, the situation surrounding his transfer continues to evolve, with further developments anticipated in the coming days.
