SCRIPT TWIST: Total rupture between Samu Omorodion and Chelsea, Conor Gallagher attentive

The U-21 international declined his transfer to the Blues early this morning, cooling off Atlético's famous domino effect.

Samu Omorodion has been in the news this evening due to the failed operation that linked him to Chelsea and started the domino effect for Atlético. The situation of the Spanish striker and the London team is not entirely clear due to the uncertainty surrounding his contract and his medical. Given that there has been all kinds of speculation, the only thing that is certain is that Omorodion will return to Atlético de Madrid.

The young Atlético striker was always keen to stay at the red-and-white club, which he appreciates very much and where he wants to succeed. However, everything seemed to take a turn in his plans when his imminent transfer to Chelsea was announced to finance other operations. With his move to London cut short, Omorodion will return to Atlético de Madrid, with the reasons for his return being a great uncertainty.

What happened to Operation Omorodion?

As I mentioned before, many are pointing to the fact that this is due to either a contractual problem or to not having successfully passed the medical. Omorodion had a deal with Chelsea until, for one of those reasons, everything suddenly fell through, generating enormous tension among Atlético fans at night. Without the exact reason for the failure of the operation having been specified yet, the reality is that Chelsea is focusing on signing other forwards.

Omorodion 's return to Atlético de Madrid was a legitimate move for the player, but difficult to foresee given the advanced stage of the talks. Chelsea and Atlético had everything planned and all that was missing was the player's signature for him to become a "blue" and set off the domino effect. Despite this closeness between the clubs, everything fell through and Omorodion 's future is a real mystery for the Atlético fans and for the player himself.

The unknown about the striker's future

Omorodion is expected to fly to Madrid today to return to Atlético de Madrid , something he has always dreamed of since his arrival at the club. His future generates a lot of uncertainty among Atlético fans, given that many sources point to the Spaniard leaving for another new club. Pending the possibility of finding the best solution for both interests, Atlético hopes to bring a little peace and quiet to their last market challenges.

Is dominoes in danger?

This morning's soap opera turned everything upside down and set the offices of both clubs and social networks on fire. Thousands and thousands of fans were wondering if the famous domino game planned by Atlético would go down the drain with the truncated Omorodion operation. Pending being able to resolve the case definitively in the next few hours, Samu Omorodion is once again an Atlético de Madrid player as of this morning.
