Samu Omorodion rejects Chelsea, but already has offers on the table: Simeone decides

The Spanish striker's departure to London has been ruled out, although he could be transferred to another European club

It is very difficult to predict what the future holds for Samu Omorodion right now after his move to Chelsea fell through a few days ago. The Spanish striker had been one of the London side's priorities for several months, but everything has ended up falling through. While Atlético de Madrid are still negotiating with the Stamford Bridge outfit, the Spanish striker could be sold or loaned to another club.

At the moment, there are two operations in the red and white team that need some departures so that they can be carried out. One of them is that of Conor Gallagher , whose signing is completely stopped and he has had to return to England to train again. On the other hand, Simeone needs to be able to incorporate a left-footed defender who can efficiently replace Mario Hermoso .

Samu Omorodion has offers

Everything was completely set for the Melilla -born player to be Chelsea 's new striker for next season. From London, they had been following Samu Omorodion's progress for several months and presenting numerous offers to the club. Atlético de Madrid had accepted his departure and all the contracts were signed for the transfer to take place quickly.

However, the deal has ended up falling through and Samu Omorodion continues to have a very uncertain future at the end of the market. Right now, his departure is not ruled out, with numerous clubs willing to make an offer for him. Some of the most important are Napoli and Bayer Leverkusen , two European giants who want to fight for all the titles.

In addition, there are also two clubs in Spain that would be delighted to have Samu Omorodion for the next season. Both Villarreal and Real Betis have shown themselves open to signing the Spaniard, even if it were with a loan option. The sale of the former Granada player would help Atlético de Madrid to finish off a transfer market that has been perfect.

Conor Gallagher, the injured party

Samu Omorodion 's operation was closely linked to that of the English midfielder, making his arrival impossible. Conor Gallagher had already trained Majadahonda and had visited the Metropolitano , a sign that his signing was very close to being announced. However, Atlético de Madrid will have to seek a new operation with Chelsea if they want to take the player.

Right now, the London team is prioritising the signing of a centre forward rather than a player like Joao Félix . The Portuguese would be delighted to return to Chelsea , a team where he was already on loan for the second half of the 2021-22 season. In England, they have reported that the English team would be committed to making an offer that could reach 50 million euros .
