Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher has joined Spanish LaLiga giants Atletico Madrid after signing a five-year contract.
This was disclosed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on his X handle on Tuesday.
“Conor Gallagher will be presented as new Atlético player on Wednesday at the Metropolitano stadium,” Romano wrote.
“He’s already signed his contract valid until 2029, also done all medical tests so just formally being announced in next 24h.
According to reports Gallagher will fly to Spain on Tuesday night to complete his transfer to Atletico Madrid.
Gallagher was made available this summer after failing to agree a new contract at Stamford Bridge

The proposed £33million transfer to Atletico Madrid has attracted plenty of criticism, with many Blues fans questioning why the hierarchy would sanction the sale of a homegrown star who arguably walks into Enzo Maresca’s best 11.
