The end of their 16-year relationship was a cold breakup. Conor Gallagher from Chelsea's Sunggol Youth ends up leaving the team altogether. The Spanish Primera Liga will wear the Atletico Madrid uniform. At the same time, Tottenham Hotspur, who was aiming for Gallagher, also experienced another failure in the transfer market.

British media Daily Mail reported on the 5th (Korea time) that Gallagher will fly to Madrid, Spain today and complete a 33.7 million-pound transfer contract with AT Madrid. Chelsea midfielder has agreed to sign La Liga giants to a five-year deal'

This concludes Gallagher's transfer, which continued in the summer transfer market. On the surface, it can be seen as a general transfer. But the content is a bit complicated. It's similar to Gallagher being effectively run over by the club.

Gallagher started playing soccer at the age of eight at the Chelsea Academy. He has grown steadily and established himself as a key midfielder in the team. Although he has been on loan for a while, he has returned to Chelsea since the 2022-2023 season and has become the center of the team, playing more than 35 games in two consecutive seasons.

But Chelsea have effectively thrown out this Gallagher. The reason is that coach Enzo Maresca, who was newly appointed ahead of this season, does not see Gallagher as a key player. Planned early to sell Gallagher. In particular, when Gallagher rejected Aston Villa's offer of £57 million in June, the team's leadership was reportedly greatly disappointed. In the end, Gallagher was put up for sale in the transfer market.

Gallagher also preferred to play for other teams rather than stay at a newly changed Chelsea. Taking advantage of this atmosphere, rumors have emerged that Tottenham is seeking to recruit Gallagher. However, Tottenham did not create a specific negotiating table.

In the end, Gallagher came first and made a decision. After making a breakthrough in negotiations with AT Madrid, they agreed to a £3,370 transfer fee. It went on like a bolt out of the blue. Already last week, AT Madrid O Chelsea agreed to a £33.7m deal. The contract period is five years.

Gallagher originally intended to stay at Chelsea. However, Gallagher was furious about offering a two-plus-one contract while offering other players a five-year long-term contract. In the end, he wanted a team that would understand his worth more.

It wasn't Tottenham. From the beginning, Tottenham was not very interested in recruiting Gallagher.
