"Manchester United are reportedly interested in a transfer move for Atletico Madrid central midfielder Conor Gallagher, but not for his asking price of 30m. According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, the Red Devils are mulling over making a move for Gallagher, with a 30m investment being analysed by club chiefs. Man Utd are admirers of Gallagher, but are seemingly unsure about paying quite that much for the England international, as it would be a significant dent to their budget."
"The 25-year-old is a strong box-to-box player, which is ideal for Amorim as he only tends to use two players in the centre of midfield. This puts a lot of emphasis on all-rounders in that department, whereas playing with a midfield three allows a bit more room for specialists in either defensive or attacking midfield roles. Gallagher also has experience of playing in the Premier League, having previously been a useful first-team player at Chelsea."
Manchester United are considering a transfer for Conor Gallagher but remain hesitant to meet Atletico Madrid's reported 30m asking price. Atletico are open to selling Gallagher but are not in a hurry, so any transfer could depend on negotiations as January approaches. Gallagher is a 25-year-old box-to-box midfielder with Premier League experience at Chelsea and would fit a system that uses two central midfielders due to his all-round qualities. Gallagher is monitoring United's interest and other Premier League clubs including Tottenham, Newcastle, Everton and West Ham have also shown interest.
