Atletico Madrid are being helped to sign Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher by Kieran Tripper, sources have told Football Insider.

Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed that the Chelsea midfielder has been talking to Trippier about the La Liga club.

Football Insider revealed that an exit from Stamford Bridge is “as close as it’s ever been” as the Spanish outfit push to secure his signature.

The 24-year-old has been seeking advice from his England teammate and former Atletico Madrid defender, Trippier.

The Newcastle United star played for the La Liga club from 2019 to 2022 before returning to the Premier League and has been letting Gallagher know what to expect.

Football Insider has revealed that Gallagher’s preference is to stay at Chelsea, but he is out of contract at Stamford Bridge next summer.

Chelsea have reportedly told Gallagher that he will only be a squad player under Enzo Maresca’s new style, which could influence his decision.

Atletico Madrid could benefit from Conor Gallagher’s energy

Diego Simeone pushes his team to play a high energy, and that’s a box that Gallagher certainly ticks.

The England international is known for his pressing, tackling, and combative nature in the middle of the park.

The Blues don’t want Gallagher to run his contract out and leave on a free transfer, which could lead to him moving to Spain.

Gallagher is in the driving seat regarding what happens with this transfer, as he will determine whether or not it goes ahead.

Even though Chelsea wants him to move abroad, Football Insider revealed that Tottenham are looking to hijack Atletico Madrid’s transfer.

In other news, Chelsea tipped to strike late £40m deal.
