On Monday, Conor Gallagher is scheduled to travel to Spain in order to continue his transfer to Atletico Madrid.
Last week, Chelsea agreed to a deal for about £34 million from the La Liga team, but the player and Chelsea could not agree on new conditions for his contract, which would have kept him at Stamford Bridge.
Gallagher has chosen to sign with Atletico Madrid, despite Chelsea having recently received enquiries about him from two other top six Premier League teams.
Gallagher decided to sign with Atletico Madrid in the final minute before the weekend’s deadline.
In the event that negotiations go well and a medical clearance is obtained, he is anticipated to sign a five-year contract.
This summer, Gallagher turned off a transfer to Villa Park and stayed at Stamford Bridge after Chelsea accepted a higher offer from Aston Villa. Gallagher is still of interest to Tottenham.
Chelsea would rather transfer him to a foreign team than to a rival in the Premier League.
