🗣️ £55m for a player like him isn’t bad!
Furious fans rants on social media over Tottenham refusal to pay £55m club’s demand for their ‘Exceptional Midfield Maestro’! Spurs insist on £40m
The Conor Gallagher transfer saga continues to unfold, with Tottenham Hotspur and Atletico Madrid both vying for the Chelsea midfielder’s signature. However, the two clubs are reportedly hesitant to meet Chelsea’s steep asking price of £55m, instead offering £40m for the 24-year-old England international.
Chelsea’s valuation of Gallagher has been a subject of debate, with some reports suggesting that the Blues are overestimating his worth. 90min previously reported that Chelsea’s internal valuation of Gallagher was between £35m-£40m, which aligns with the offers made by Spurs and Atletico Madrid. However, GiveMeSport now claims that Chelsea are standing firm on their £55m price tag, seeking a fee comparable to the £55m Manchester United paid for Mason Mount last summer.
Tottenham’s interest in Gallagher dates back to last summer when Ange Postecoglou arrived at the club. Despite this, Gallagher remained at Chelsea for another season, and it seems that Spurs are still keen on signing him. However, their reluctance to meet Chelsea’s asking price may hinder their chances of securing the midfielder’s signature.
Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, have reportedly shown more interest in Gallagher in recent times, according to The Telegraph. The Spanish club’s willingness to offer £40m for Gallagher suggests that they are serious about signing him, but Chelsea’s firm stance on their price tag may prove to be a stumbling block.
Spurs Web Opinion has expressed reservations about Chelsea’s valuation of Gallagher, describing £55m as “very steep” for a player of his caliber. While Gallagher is praised for his exceptional fitness, neat and tidy play, and relentless pressing, he is not considered a game-changer who would completely transform Tottenham’s fortunes. The article suggests that a near-club-record signing should be expected to have a more significant impact on the team’s success.
The standoff between Chelsea and the interested clubs raises questions about Gallagher’s future. Will Chelsea eventually lower their asking price to facilitate a sale, or will they hold out for a buyer willing to meet their valuation? Alternatively, will Spurs or Atletico Madrid increase their offer to secure Gallagher’s signature, or will they explore alternative targets?
As the transfer window progresses, the Conor Gallagher saga will undoubtedly continue to unfold. Chelsea’s determination to get more than £50m for the midfielder may lead to a prolonged negotiation process, with the interested clubs potentially exploring other options in the meantime. One thing is certain, however – Gallagher’s future will be a topic of intense speculation until a resolution is reached.
