Atlético Madrid have successfully secured the signing of midfielder Conor Gallagher from Chelsea in a deal valued at approximately €40 million ($44m). The transfer faced uncertainty when Atlético's attempt to bring in forward Samu Omorodion from Chelsea did not materialize.
Gallagher had visited Madrid earlier this month and was present at Atlético's Metropolitano Stadium as the finalization of his signing was underway. However, he had to return to the UK due to the collapse of Omorodion's transfer. Following negotiations, Chelsea reached an agreement to acquire João Félix from Atlético, paving the way for Gallagher's move to be completed.
