Conor Gallagher's Atlético Madrid Transfer
Conor Gallagher has completed his transfer to Atlético Madrid from Chelsea, marking a crucial shift in his career. The Athletic reports a deal valued at €42 million (£35.8m, $54.7m), which includes an undisclosed sell-on clause for Chelsea. Gallagher has signed a five-year contract with the La Liga club, effective until 2029.
Details of the Deal
Initially, the move faced delays as Gallagher awaited clarity on a potential counter-transfer. However, once funds were secured, he successfully completed the move and traveled to Madrid. The 24-year-old made his name known last season, boasting seven goals and nine assists in 50 appearances.
Gallagher's Career Progression
- Debuted for Chelsea in August 2022.
- Impressive loan spell at Crystal Palace, scoring eight goals in 34 games.
- Represented England with 18 caps since 2021.
Gallagher's defining moment came during England’s campaign at the latest UEFA tournament, where he contributed significantly despite being an unused substitute in the final match against Spain. With this transfer, he becomes Atlético Madrid's fourth major signing this summer.
