Everything is ready for Atlético de Madrid to announce the signing of Conor Gallagher for the midfield in the next few hours. It took the red and whites a long time to get an affirmative response from the English international. Now, until the last details are closed, the Chelsea captain is expected to appear in the Spanish capital.
On the other hand, in England they have revealed what could be Conor Gallagher 's salary in the mattress team. It must be taken into account that Atlético de Madrid has been following a strict roadmap for a long time when it comes to the salary bill. Some important pieces like Simeone or Koke have already renewed their contracts with a significant drop in their salary.
Conor Gallagher and a star salary
Obviously, Atlético de Madrid is signing one of the most consistent midfielders during the last season in the Premier League . Conor Gallagher is the captain of Chelsea , as well as an international for the England team, with more than good statistics. Obviously, all fans are aware of the large amount of money that has been moving in English football for many years.
As revealed by journalist Matt Law , Conor Gallagher's salary at Atlético de Madrid would be 235,000 euros per week . This amount translates into 12 million euros gross per year, an amount very close to what Saúl Ñíguez earned. At the moment, the red and white team has not confirmed any details of the Englishman's contract, since it has not yet been definitively signed.
In the latest operations of the colchoneros, an attempt has been made to carry out a significant reduction in the wage bill. Some pieces like Koke or Simeone have already reached an agreement, while others like Mario Hermoso ended up leaving the squad. These operations have served, precisely, to give the sports management greater scope to incorporate new reinforcements .
Strong competition for Rodrigo de Paul
Once the deal is sealed, Simeone will add a player to his squad who can contribute a lot in the engine room. Conor Gallagher stood out last season in both offensive and defensive actions, creating chances and winning many duels. These characteristics can lead him to surpass Rodrigo de Paul who has shown a lot of irregularity in recent years.
Many fans believe that Conor Gallagher can offer very similar aspects to the best version of Marcos Llorente . For now, the Englishman would arrive at the Metropolitano with very little training after having reached the Euro Cup final with England. Once he arrives in Spain, he will begin training and would have the opportunity to make his debut in the last friendly against Juventus Turin .
