Chelsea have accepted an offer from Atletico Madrid for Conor Gallagher, who must now decide whether to make the move.
Enzo Maresca wants to strengthen his forward line with a new striker and right winger, with Oscar Bobb appreciated.
Chelsea have accepted an offer from Atletico Madrid for Conor Gallagher that is in excess of €40m with add-ons included. Gallagher is now deciding whether he wants to make the move to Spain.
Sportsfocushub understands Gallagher turned down a new three-year (2+1) contract extension at Chelsea on Wednesday as well as in early June. The wages offered were comparable to the highest earners in Chelsea's midfield.
Aston Villa also had a club-record bid accepted for Gallagher in June, but he decided to stay. Chelsea would prefer to sell Gallagher abroad than to a Premier League rival and the Atletico offer accepted is inferior to the one made by Villa.
Both Chelsea and Atletico Madrid are now waiting for feedback from Gallagher, who is likely to make a decision on his future before he is due back at Cobham on August 6.
Chelsea prefer to sell Gallagher now rather than risk his contract expiring next summer. Chelsea don't want a scenario where they lose players as free agents, which is why they will usually entertain offers for anyone in the final two years of their contracts should a renewal not be imminent.
