On August 1st, according to British media outlet Sky Sports, Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher rejected a three-year contract extension from the club yesterday, and the club has now reached an agreement with Atlético Madrid over a transfer.
Reports say Chelsea offered Gallagher a new three-year contract (two years plus an option for a further year) to extend his time at Stamford Bridge, but the player has declined. He also rejected an extension offer in early June. Currently, Chelsea has reached an agreement with Atlético to help resolve the player’s future.
It is understood that Gallagher is keen on a move to Atlético, and Chelsea will do everything they can to support his move to Spain if that is his wish. The Blues are now waiting for Gallagher and his camp to decide what he wants to do, as his existing contract at Stamford Bridge expires next summer. Chelsea offered him a wage comparable to the club’s highest-earning midfielders, and it was considered comparable to other salary offers he received.
The 24-year-old also rejected an offer to extend his contract in the autumn of 2022, as he wanted to be a regular starter, not a substitute player.
