Conor Gallagher Joins Atletico Madrid on Five-Year Deal

Posted : 21 August 2024

Atletico Madrid announced the signing of Conor Gallagher from Chelsea on a five-year contract, with the deal valued at 42 million euros. Gallagher, who had been with Chelsea since childhood, will remain with Atletico until 2029, marking a significant move in his career. The transfer reflects Atletico's commitment to strengthening their squad with notable investments this summer.

 

Chelsea extended their best wishes to Gallagher as he embarks on this new chapter, highlighting his contributions during his time at the club. Gallagher, who began his senior career on loan at West Bromwich Albion and Crystal Palace, only made his debut for Chelsea in 2022. Last season, he was a pivotal figure for Chelsea, starting 37 Premier League matches and serving as club captain for much of the campaign due to injuries to Reece James and Ben Chilwell.

 

Gallagher, who still had a year remaining on his Chelsea contract, had been offered a new deal by new manager Enzo Maresca. Since making his England debut in 2021, Gallagher has earned 18 caps and participated in Euro 2024, where England reached the final but lost 2-1 to Spain.

 

Atletico Madrid will unveil Gallagher along with their other new signings, including former Manchester City forward Julian Alvarez, at an event later on Wednesday at the Metropolitano stadium. The club has significantly invested in the transfer market this summer, spending around 200 million euros on players like Spain's Robin Le Normand and Norway's Alexander Sorloth. Following a disappointing 2-2 draw with Villarreal, Atletico will face Girona on Sunday.
