Conor Gallagher's future is dangling on a potential João Felix return to Chelsea

Football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on Conor Gallagher's transfer saga, highlighting the complex situation surrounding the England midfielder.

Despite Gallagher being on the verge of a move to Atlético Madrid, the deal has faced unexpected delays.

Romano explains, “The Conor Gallagher situation at Chelsea remains one of the biggest sagas of the summer transfer window.

The player has returned to London and is now training at Cobham, but not with the first-team squad as he’s not deemed a regular starter under manager Enzo Maresca.”

He adds, “Although the transfer was nearly finalized with contracts ready and medicals completed, the deal has stalled due to the collapse of the Samu Omorodion transfer to Chelsea.

Negotiations are now ongoing between Chelsea and Atlético Madrid, with both clubs trying to resolve the situation. Gallagher is currently in London, waiting for a resolution while the deal remains in limbo.”
