Transfer: Romano confirms Chelsea midfielder to leave Maresca’s squad for new club

Chelsea midfielder, Conor Gallagher, is on the verge of leaving the Premier League west London club.

According to football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, Gallagher’s time at Stamford Bridge is all but over.

According to Romano, new manager, Enzo Maresca, does not see the England international as a good fit for his possession-based tactics.

Gallagher has already turned down the offer to extend his contract with Chelsea by two years.

Romano wrote on X: “Decision time for Conor Gallagher as Atlético are waiting — while his career at Chelsea looks to be almost over.

“Chelsea offered Gallagher 2+1 new deal, not longer deal as they are concerned that in a high possession system under Maresca he’d only be a squad player.”
