Aston Villa confirm the signing of Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher, medical schedules.
Gallagher has not agreed new contract with Chelsea,
with midfielder possibly forming part of makeweight deal for Jhon Durán moving to London
As Conor Gallagher gets ready for what might be his final Chelsea game,
aston villa is one of the teams that has expressed interest in him.
In what could be his final appearance for the team,
Gallagher is expected to captain Chelsea against Bournemouth on Sunday in the season’s final match.
Gallagher’s contract negotiations with Chelsea have not progressed,
therefore when the transfer window reopens, teams are free to make offers for the midfield player.
Ange Postecoglou, the head coach of Tottenham Hotspur,
is rumored to be a major fan of Gallagher, and the team has been at the head of the queue of teams interested in him.
However, Aston Villa, who have earned a spot in the Champions League for the upcoming campaign,
have reportedly indicated interest ahead of the club’s crucial summer. This is according to Telegraph Sport.
The board members of Chelsea and Villa, whose youthful striker Jhon Durán was a January transfer target for the London team,
Although it’s unknown if Chelsea still has interest in Durán,
it’s highly doubtful that they would entertain a trade for academy product Gallagher,
as his departure would qualify as a profit of 100% under sustainability and profitability regulations.
Similar to Chelsea, Villa must exercise caution when adhering to PSR regulations,
as this might potentially curtail their summer spending.
It’s possible that Gallagher’s next big move would depend on player sales.
Gallagher was once valued by Chelsea at almost £50 million,
and his outstanding performances haven’t made him any less valuable.
However, Chelsea’s asking price might have to decrease given that he has one year left on his deal.
The 24-year-old hasn’t said he’s remaining at Stamford Bridge,
but Chelsea won’t want to take the chance of him using up his contract.
He also won’t likely be forced into a decision he’s not sure about.
Tottenham’s lack of Champions League qualification and three-
point lead over Chelsea heading into the last day of the season begs the question of how alluring a move across London may be right now.
