Conor Gallagher is available from Atletico Madrid with an asking price of 45m and is attracting interest from Manchester United, Tottenham, Newcastle and Crystal Palace. The England midfielder joined Atletico from Chelsea a year ago but could return to the Premier League. Tottenham currently lead the race and are preparing a bid in the region of 35–40m, which falls short of Atletico's valuation. Manchester United remain interested as they pursue midfield signings, while Newcastle and Crystal Palace could also act if a compromise is not reached. The 25-year-old impressed at Chelsea and on loan at Palace and could help replace Eberechi Eze.
Well-placed sources in the industry have informed CaughtOffside that Man Utd, Tottenham, Newcastle and Crystal Palace are keen on Gallagher as he's given an asking price of 45m. The England international only joined Atletico from Chelsea a year ago, but it seems he could now be heading back to the Premier League. United have an interest in Adam Wharton after missing out on Carlos Baleba, but one source also revealed to us that they are monitoring Gallagher's situation as they continue to pursue midfield signings.
However, multiple sources we spoke to seemed clear that Tottenham are currently leading the race for Gallagher. One even went as far as to say a bid for the former Chelsea man could be imminent, saying: The club see Gallagher as a perfect fit Spurs are preparing a bid in the region of 3540 million. That remains a bit short of Atletico's asking price for Gallagher, so it remains to be seen if a compromise can be reached.
If not, it seems United and Newcastle could be ready to pounce, while Crystal Palace are also keen on a return for the player they once had on loan. Gallagher impressed during his time at Chelsea, as well as during his single season on loan at Palace, so it's not too surprising to see so much interest in him this summer. The 25-year-old could be ideal to help Palace replace Eberechi Eze, but he perhaps looks slightly out of their price range.
