Atlético de Madrid 's "domino game" is about to begin. The three-way operation that the red-and-white club is carrying out to close the arrivals of Conor Gallagher along with Julián Álvarez , will depend on the departure of the striker SamuOmorodion . The Spaniard has been one of the protagonists during the last few days, as he has become one of the keys for the red-and-whites to be able to incorporate the two players.
And his departure to ChelseaFC is seen as something completely obligatory for Conor Gallagher and Julián Álvarez to be able to wear the red and white shirt during the next season. That is why Atlético de Madrid increased the pace of negotiations with the London club, who have been the ones who have shown the most interest in Samu Omorodion . So much so that the agreement is practically closed and, according to Fabrizio Romano, the colchoneros will receive around €40M that has facilitated the agreement with the English footballer and the Argentine.
In fact, according to the award-winning Italian journalist, it was last Thursday when Chelsea doctors went to Paris to carry out the corresponding tests on Samu Omorodion . And even though the striker will play the final of the Olympic Games against the host France on Friday, he has not lost sight of his future. It was also, together with his teammates in the Spanish National Team , where we were able to see the first "blue" gesture from the footballer for his new club.
The video that shows it all
Although his move to the StamfordBridge team is a given, it was not until last Thursday, during Spain 's last training session, when Samu Omorodion confirmed it. And that is because, José Luis Allegue, a journalist from Marca, published a video where the 20-year-old footballer's teammates made a corridor for him to celebrate his transfer to Chelsea . All of this while they sang "Es blue blue", referring to the nickname with which the London club's players identify themselves.
A video that only confirms what will happen in the next few hours. And that is, after the signing of contracts for Conor Gallagher and Julián Álvarez , the departure of Samu Omorodion from Atlético de Madrid will also be made public on social media. Something that will make this operation one of the most successful in the history of the club, since we must not forget that the red-and-whites only paid €6M for Samu Omorodion .
He went to GranadaCF after a first match of the League where the Metropolitano was delighted with the unknown forward of the Granada team. The board of Atléticode Madrid did not hesitate for a moment, and decided to pay his release clause and loan him to DeportivoAlavés . It was there that he had his first season in the elite of Spanish football, where he scored 8 goals and several clubs took notice of him.
Atléticode Madrid 's initial idea was to keep the player, but everything went up in smoke when the options of Conor Gallagher and Julián Álvarez appeared. It was then that the club understood that his sale would facilitate both operations, so they decided to make one of the biggest negotiations of recent years. So, all that remains is to wait for the first piece of this domino to fall so that all the operations are closed afterwards, something that could happen very soon.
