Atlético Madrid have finalized a deal with Chelsea for the transfer of Conor Gallagher in a transaction valued at approximately €40 million ($44m). Additionally, Atlético striker Samu Omorodion will be moving to Stamford Bridge in a separate deal for an initial fee of €33m plus €7m in potential add-ons.
It was revealed that Atlético had previously reached an agreement with Chelsea for Gallagher's transfer, pending the player's acceptance of the move. In the event of Gallagher backing out, Atlético had considered pursuing Valencia midfielder Javi Guerra as an alternative.
