According to reports, Chelsea have made a decision regarding the departure of midfielder Conor Gallagher, whose contract is set to expire in 2025.
Despite being a key player for Chelsea last season, Gallagher has been made available for transfer, with Atletico Madrid reportedly agreeing to sign him for £33m.
This move will see Chelsea lose another homegrown talent who had a strong season in the Premier League, contributing five goals and seven assists.
How will Chelsea replace Gallagher?
Despite Gallagher’s impending departure, Chelsea are not looking to bring in a direct replacement for him, as they are satisfied with the players already at the club, according to reports.
Reports suggest that Chelsea will use the funds from Gallagher’s sale to sign Atletico Madrid forward Samu Omorodion.
Who will fill the midfield role at Chelsea?
Chelsea have already added Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to their midfield this summer, and with players like Romeo Lavia returning from injury, they have a strong pool of talent to choose from.
Players like Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, and Carney Chukwuemeka are in contention for midfield roles, while Lesley Ugochukwu and Cesare Casadei could potentially leave the club on loan or permanently.
