With his contract running down, Conor Gallagher could very well be available for a transfer. Tottenham, however, face competition from Atletico Madrid for the Chelsea man’s signature.
Diego Simeone wants Gallagher at Atletico as the Argentine looks to strengthen his midfield following Saul Niguez’s loan move to Sevilla.
Atletico are unlikely to be the only problem for Tottenham, though. Gallagher’s price tag also looks like an issue for the north London club.
According to GiveMeSport, Tottenham only wanted to pay £35m for Gallagher last year. Fast forward to now, and they are willing to offer more than that it seems.
The same outlet has claimed that they are prepared to go slightly above that number this transfer window because of the 24-year-old’s form.
Even at £40m, though, it does not look like Spurs will be able to sign Gallagher. GiveMeSport’s report says Chelsea want in excess of £50m for their midfielder. There is still a chance of Gallagher signing a new contact at Chelsea, too.
