Atletico Madrid will dangle the carrot of helping Conor Gallagher advance his England career in bidding to convince the Chelsea star to trade Stamford Bridge for the Spanish capital.
Chelsea have accepted a £33million bid from Atletico for academy graduate Gallagher, and now the La Liga club will try to lure the 24-year-old away from his boyhood club. Atletico believe that handing Gallagher extensive La Liga and Champions League action will help him command a regular starting berth with England.
