Background: >> “TA: Atlético Madrid want to buy Valencia midfielder Javier Gra for €25 million plus add-ons >>>
According to reports, although the Mattress Makers reached a full agreement with Valencia and the player, they will not ultimately execute the deal because Gallagher is about to join Atlético Madrid.
Originally, the 21-year-old midfielder from Valencia did not attend team training on Wednesday morning, and he was ready to go to Madrid for a medical and signing. But the Metropolitans ultimately decided against signing Gra. The player and Valencia also grew tired of waiting.
According to reports, Gallagher was Atlético Madrid’s first choice to strengthen the midfield. However, the Englishman did not respond to Atlético Madrid’s offer, so Atlético Madrid turned their attention to Javier Gra. It was then that Atlético Madrid began negotiations with him and quickly reached an agreement with both sides. They would pay a transfer fee of €25 million, and the footballer would sign with Atlético Madrid until 2030.
But just before the deadline, Gallagher agreed to join Atlético Madrid. Atlético Madrid discovered that the team no longer needed the Valencia prodigy, and the negotiation has broken down.
