Gallagher’s Struggles at Atletico Madrid: Potential Exit Looms

Mixed Performances in La Liga

The 25-year-old midfielder made the switch to Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid from his childhood club Chelsea in August 2024. Initially, he showcased promise on the field, but his subsequent form has seen him slip down the selection scale.

Limited Playing Time

So far this season, Gallagher has only been named in the starting lineup for three of his 15 appearances in La Liga. Reports indicate that the Spanish club might consider selling him during the upcoming January transfer window.

Clubs Showing Interest

Fabrizio Romano has reported that several clubs, including Manchester United, Newcastle, Everton, and Tottenham Hotspur, are preparing to make inquiries about Gallagher’s availability.

Previous Loan Attempt

Manchester United expressed interest in securing Gallagher on loan during the summer but faced a quick rejection from Atletico Madrid.

Expected Transfer Fee

It is rumored that Atletico Madrid is open to a sale for around €30 million, especially as Gallagher aims to gain more playing time in anticipation of the World Cup.
