Atlético de Madrid have officially announced the arrival of Conor Gallagher, the English midfielder who has been registered with LaLiga and will be available for tonight's match. This addition comes after the Madrid club formalised the signing of the player from Chelsea for a considerable fee.
Gallagher, 24, has signed a five-year contract with Atlético, until 2029, and becomes the fourth signing for the red-and-white team in this transfer window. His arrival, which had been announced previously, has been confirmed with the official registration on the morning of August 23. This means that the English midfielder will be able to make his debut tonight at 9.30pm in the match against Girona.
Key reinforcement for the midfield
Gallagher's inclusion in the squad is a key move for Simeone, who had expressed interest in strengthening the midfield. The England international is known for his ability to win back the ball, his ability to spread out on the pitch and his vision to link up with the forwards. These qualities make him an important piece for Cholo's tactical scheme.
Gallagher joins Atlético Madrid after a standout spell at Chelsea, where he showed his potential and made a significant contribution in several competitions. His signing is part of the club's strategy to strengthen its squad ahead of the season, especially after a series of line-up changes. In addition to Gallagher, Atlético have brought in Robin Le Normand, Alexander Sorloth and Julián Álvarez, adding several players who have been well received by the fans.
Gallagher's registration with LaLiga comes after the club completed the necessary formalities, including submitting documents and meeting regulatory requirements. The registration process, which included other signings such as Le Normand and Sorloth, ensures that Gallagher can immediately integrate into the squad and be available for upcoming matches.
All registered
Of the signings made so far, Gallagher is the latest to be registered. Gallagher's presence on the pitch is expected to bring a new dimension to Atlético's game, offering both in defence and attack.
With the arrival of Gallagher, Simeone has another option at his disposal to adjust his tactical strategy and improve the team's performance. The line-up with Gallagher could be one of the keys to facing Girona and continuing to add points in the competition. As the season progresses, the impact of the new signing will be crucial for Atlético Madrid's aspirations in LaLiga and other competitions.
