Conor Gallagher could play his last game for Chelsea when the Blues take on Bournemouth on Sunday. The midfielder has been linked with Aston Villa and Tottenham ahead of the summer and could be sold to comply with PSR and FFP regulations.
Gallagher has been linked with moves to Everton and Tottenham in recent transfer windows, but nothing materialized and Chelsea will be glad that no deal was made. The Cobham native has been a star player for the Blues this season, appearing in 49 games in all competitions, scoring seven goals and assisting nine goals, as they look to secure a spot in Europe with a point against the Cherries at the weekend. I’m catching up.
However, the Telegraph reports that the stand-in captain, who has been described as a “monster” player, could be on the move, with Villa star John Duran signing him in a swap move following interest from Chelsea in the past. There is a possibility that it will continue.
Conor Gallagher: Latest transfers
Gallagher could be set to leave Chelsea
According to reports on Saturday morning, Villa are among the clubs interested in Gallagher and could make a final farewell to him at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. The 24-year-old is set to wear the captain’s armband, but there has been no progress in west London on his new contract, leaving the possibility that another team could make a move for the England international.
Tottenham are also said to be interested, but reports suggest that the Champions League qualifiers and Chelsea held talks over Duran over the winter and have a good relationship with the Midlands side. Villa are said to be interested in the player as he prepares for a fantastic summer there.
It is unclear whether Duran is still interested in Chelsea, but a swap deal could take place, especially since Chelsea’s main reason for selling Gallagher is so they can book 100 percent of Gallagher’s release as a profit. is low. Comply with PSR rules.
The Blues believe Gallagher is worth around £50m and his performances are unlikely to change that, but with one year left on his contract they have little time and money to make. So it could be now or never. There is a chance that the rating will go down with some leeway.
Gallagher is likely to travel to Germany with England for Euro 2024 and is in no rush to secure his future, but Chelsea are in no rush to secure his future, but the sheer profit from selling him would free up funds that could be used elsewhere. I might have to sell him to get it. .
Chelsea will be even worse without Gallagher
Cobham graduate is still learning and produced key moments
Gallagher has currently made around 100 appearances for Chelsea after spells on loan at Crystal Palace, West Brom, Charlton and Swansea, but at just 24 years old there is still plenty of room for him to develop before he reaches his peak. be.
A tireless midfielder who gives it his all on the pitch, Gallagher is a manager’s dream player and was given the captain’s armband at just 23 years old, which in itself highlights just how important he is to the club. It tells you something.
Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandes are two great midfielders, but as back-up options and blood players, it’s hard not to feel like selling him would be a mistake.
