Gallagher Set for Atletico Exit: Spurs Lead Chase
13 Jan
Summary
- Tottenham is nearing an agreement with Atletico Madrid for Conor Gallagher.
- A permanent transfer is being discussed for the midfielder.
- Aston Villa also showed interest but Tottenham talks are progressing.
Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly on the verge of securing a deal with Atletico Madrid to acquire midfielder Conor Gallagher. Sky Sports News understands that negotiations between the two clubs are progressing towards a permanent transfer for the 25-year-old England international.
Sources suggest that Atletico Madrid might consider offers in the region of £26 million (€30 million), although the final transfer fee remains to be determined. Gallagher originally joined the Spanish club in the summer of 2024 for approximately £38 million and has a contract with them until the summer of 2029.
The intensified search for a midfielder by Tottenham follows the unfortunate season-ending hamstring injury sustained by Rodrigo Bentancur. While Aston Villa also expressed interest in Gallagher, recent developments indicate that Tottenham's pursuit is gaining significant momentum, driven by their long-standing admiration for the player.
