Chelsea's Gallagher agrees £33m Atletico Madrid move

Atletico Madrid's midfield planning has been turned upside down in a matter of hours. After the national press suggested that Enrique Cerezo's board had tied up Javi Guerra, from Valencia, to cover their backs while waiting for Conor Gallagher to accept their offer or not, Fabrizio Romano confirmed that he has. Soon, the English midfielder will leave Chelsea for 40 million euros.
The Italian journalist even details who negotiated the deal. They are Ali Barat of 'Epic Sports' and Paul Nicholls of 'Elite Management Agency'. Nicholls is in charge of a wide range of football players, including Chelsea's still midfielder, and has experience in interesting destinations such as David Beckham's academy for promising young players, where he is a recognised figure in Great Britain.
This will be the third 'Colchonero' signing of the summer after Robin Le Normand -Real Sociedad, 34.5 million euros- and Alexander Sorloth -Villarreal, 32 million euros-. The Atletico Madrid bosses have reinforced practically all their lines with the regret that their priority for the front line, Artem Dovbyk, preferred Roma after leaving Girona.
While waiting for Conor Gallagher to respond to Atletico Madrid, the capital club had tied up Javi Guerra for 25 million euros, so it is quite likely that this option will be dropped and the young 'Che' will stay at Mestalla.
