Conor Gallagher’s Potential Move Back to the Premier League

Conor Gallagher made a £33 million move to Atletico Madrid from Chelsea in 2024.

Recently, both Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur have engaged in discussions regarding a potential transfer for Atletico Madrid’s midfielder, Conor Gallagher, this month.

The England international is set to be available for departure from the La Liga club in January, which has caught the attention of various clubs.

Atletico Madrid prefers to arrange a permanent sale for Gallagher this month, although they are also open to a loan agreement with an obligation to buy.

Currently, Aston Villa’s interest appears to be the most advanced; however, Tottenham has now joined the pursuit of the former Chelsea midfielder. Sources indicate that Tottenham’s interest in Gallagher is not only concrete but also gaining momentum.

A return to the Premier League may be beneficial for Gallagher as he aims to secure a spot in Thomas Tuchel’s England squad ahead of the World Cup this summer.

Tottenham is likely seeking to bolster their midfield options in light of a recent injury setback, as Rodrigo Bentancur is expected to be sidelined for at least three months due to a hamstring injury sustained during a Premier League match against Bournemouth last week, necessitating surgery.
