Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher has been a subject of transfer speculation, with Aston Villa reportedly showing interest in the 24-year-old. However, Fabrizio Romano has revealed that there are other clubs also vying for his services, making the situation far from a done deal.
Gallagher has a year left on his contract at Chelsea, and the Blues might need to cash in on him now to avoid losing him on a free transfer in the future. His consistent performances for Chelsea have made him a valuable asset, and his homegrown status means that any sale would generate pure profit for the club.
Chelsea’s new head coach, Enzo Maresca, is expected to make several key signings this summer, including a new goalkeeper, center-back, left-back, and forward. A massive purchase for Napoli ace Victor Osimhen is also a possibility. Gallagher’s potential departure could help the club comply with Profit and Sustainability rules, which necessitate sales before June 30.
The situation is still in its early stages, with no decision yet made by Chelsea. Gallagher’s future will be closely watched, and it remains to be seen whether he will stay at Chelsea or move to Aston Villa or another club.
