It has been argued that Tottenham will move as soon as England stop their journey at Euro 2024. The target is Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher.
Tottenham are preparing an official proposal to recruit Gallagher. Ben Jacobs, who is familiar with the European transfer market, explained Gallagher's current situation through the London is Blue Podcast.
He added "Aston Villa, despite their exploratory approach, I don't think they can handle Gallagher at this time. Atletico Madrid made an unofficial offer of about 20 million euros (about 30 billion won). However, this amount is much lower than Chelsea's evaluation, so there is no possibility that it will be made.'"At the moment, Tottenham is the only one left. Archie Gray has joined Tottenham, but the challenge to sign Gallagher is still ongoing.'
Gallagher is the director of Enze Postecoglou's 'OnePick'. Tottenham sought to recruit Gallagher in the winter transfer market in January following last summer, but failed.
Gallagher scored five goals and seven assists in 37 games in the 2023-2024 season. He played a great role as a de facto captain. He has also repeatedly expressed his desire to stay at Chelsea.
Speaking at Euro 2024 for England, he said earlier this month: "I'm sure the contract will be settled. Everyone knows Chelsea is my club and I also like to play for Chelsea.
But Gallagher's situation is subtle. He will be out of contract with Chelsea in June next year. Jacobs is so pessimistic that he affirms that there is no possibility of renewing the contract between Gallagher and Chelsea.
There are many voices that Chelsea will not be easy to meet Gallagher's high salary demands. Moreover, Chelsea is facing revenue and sustainability regulations (PSR) violations. You can be disciplined for points reduction. Chelsea need to make up for the losses by selling their players.
If a former youth player is transferred, the transfer fee earned will be set at 'pure profit', so the best effect can be enjoyed. Gallagher is from Chelsea Youth.
Jacobs said, `Tottenham's valuation is about 35 million pounds (about 62 billion won) as it was 12 months ago. On the other hand, Chelsea say they should receive 55 million pounds (about 98 billion won), which is similar to Mason Mount, for Gallagher's transfer feeIt may be possible for £45 million, but Chelsea are in a tough position. The situation now is the same as it has been for months. However, nothing has been done to renew the contract between Chelsea and Gallagher, and Tottenham are likely to bid."
