After his failed transfer to Atletico, Conor Gallagher was sent to Chelsea’s reserve team. A strange way to treat a player who was trained at the club and wore the captain’s armband last season.
“It’s disgusting, dirty and totally classless.” In the Daily Mail, journalist Ian Herbert did not hold back when discussing Chelsea’s behavior with Conor Gallagher. While his transfer to Atlético is getting bogged down, the England international has been asked to return to London to train with the “bomb squad”, the equivalent of the “loft” for Ligue 1 clubs. Where we find the young players and the more experienced elements that the club wants to sell.
Gallagher is one of the players placed on the transfer list. Not necessarily because of his performances, but rather because his contract expires in 2025, which encourages the Blues to sell him to capitalize on his market value. Because yes, as the London club has again recruited in droves this summer (nine players, Jorgensen, Anselmino, Adarabioyo, Wiley, Veiga, Dewsbury-Hall, Kellyman, Marc Guiu and Pedro Mata, and it is of course not over), it also has to get rid of certain players.
Humiliating a player who has been at the club since he was eight years old
So that’s why Gallagher was offered to Aston Villa, in vain, and finds himself in this humiliating situation for a player who was trained at the club, who has worn these colours since he was eight years old, and who was nothing less than captain last season under Mauricio Pochettino. One of the few players that Blues fans could still identify with, recalls the Daily Mail. Atlético could have been a nice way out for him, but the transfer is slow to be concluded, because the Madrilenians must first recover money by selling Joao Félix or Samu Omorodion. And imagine that these two players are on the tablets of… Chelsea.
