Conor Gallagher’s proposed transfer from Chelsea to Atletico Madrid took a major twist on Monday night that could put the move in jeopardy.
The Blues are eager to offload the midfielder as he enters the final year of his contract and expected to fetch around €40 million (£33m) from selling their academy to help keep them in line with the Premier League‘s Profit and Sustainability Rules.
The England international was poised to join the La Liga outfit this week after flying to the Spanish capital to get the deal over the line.
However, Chelsea have apparently told Gallagher to return to London on Tuesday, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
