Bayern Munich may consider a last-minute acquisition of Chelsea star Conor Gallagher, claims 90min. However, Chelsea’s stance towards their 23-year-old Chelsea academy player may have changed. The midfielder has effectively integrated himself into Mauricio Pochettino’s season-long plans and will be a key player this year. However the Blues are considering to make some sales before the summer transfer window closes. Thus, someone from Cobham has to be part of the squad according to Chelsea insiders. Hence it’s uncertain whether Conor Gallagher will join another club or remain in Chelsea.
Conor Gallagher unlikely to leave Chelsea
Chelsea’s midfield appeared weak at the beginning of the season, with Enzo Fernandez and Conor Gallagher starting with the inexperienced Brazilian Andrey Santos. Moises Caicedo was being actively pursued by the club. And now that they’ve signed him and Romeo Lavia by expensive contracts, their depth appears to be extremely solid. Santos has been loaned out to Nottingham Forest. However there are concerns over Gallagher’s future as well, particularly in light of the two high-profile additions. The England international may have found ways to fit into Mauricio Pochettino’s system as a result of his latest performance so far.
Chelsea may not want to lose any of their key players during the new season, especially those the manager regards as critical. Gallagher is aware of the circumstances, which is another reason he might have turned down approaches from a few clubs. West Ham United has shown interest in the 23-year-old midfielder. However the player may have rejected his old team Crystal Palace as well. As things stand, Gallagher appears determined to stay at Chelsea, compete for his spot, while offering Pochettino a super-sub role.
Bayern Munich and Tottenham remains interested in signing the star
Bayern Munich recently inquired if Gallagher will be available before the transfer window closes. If the circumstances are right, the 23-year-old homegrown talent from Chelsea might be pursued by the Bundesliga champions with a fair offer. Thomas Tuchel would require quality and depth in every area. Even though the German coach just briefly used the midfielder before benching him, he might have liked what he saw at the start of the previous campaign. Furthermore, if Spurs sell Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg amid interest from Manchester United, they’ll probably increase their interest in Conor Gallagher.
Gallagher’s desire to stay at Chelsea, according to Fabrizio Romano, has Pochettino’s backing. Additionally, the 23-year-old homegrown player and the club may begin talks about a new contract, which would put an end to all rumours.
