Atlético de Madrid has a complicated situation on its hands after having reached an agreement with two midfielders. The red and whites have received a positive response from Conor Gallagher this morning and the Englishman will land in Spain. Meanwhile, the incorporation of Javi Guerra for a fixed 25 million euros had also been negotiated with Valencia.
The priority has always been the arrival of the English midfielder, while the Spanish option arose unexpectedly. Now, with Conor Gallagher on his way to start training in Majadahonda , we must think about the future of the Valencian player. At the moment, it is not known what the final solution will be, but the mattress team is analyzing all the scenarios.
Conor Gallagher arrives at Atlético de Madrid
For a long time, the red and whites were waiting for a response from the English international regarding his incorporation into the team. The sports management had already reached an agreement with Chelsea for the transfer of Conor Gallagher for around 40 million euros . However, the player's priority had always been to stay in the Premier League and, if possible, renew with the London team.
It was Chelsea itself that pushed Conor Gallagher to accept the Colchoneros' offer. The midfielder gave the green light in the early morning, just when the deadline given to him by Atlético de Madrid was ending. Now, he must travel to Spain to pass the medical examination and begin training at Cerro del Espino .
Incognito with Javi Guerra
The arrival of Conor Gallagher leaves the future of the Spanish midfielder, for whom the red and whites had reached an agreement, up in the air. Gil Marín had spoken personally with Peter Lim to close the transfer of Javi Guerra for a fixed 25 million euros . In fact, the operation is signed by all parties and now leaves what will happen to the player in the air.
Atlético de Madrid do not rule out also incorporating Javi Guerra in this same summer market, although departures are needed. The Valencian team is one of the great projects in Spanish football, with numerous European clubs behind it. On the other hand, it would not sit well in Valencia if the operation ended up falling through, since they had already closed Bryan Zaragoza as his replacement.
Right now, several scenarios are being handled in order to provide a solution to the problem and for both reinforcements to land in the Metropolitan. For some time now, Javi Guerra has been in the orbit of Atlético de Madrid and FC Barcelona, being a highly sought-after footballer in Spain. From the Spanish capital they hope to work so that the young midfielder can end up arriving and join Conor Gallagher .
