Gallagher Transfer to Atletico Madrid Pending Decision

Chelsea have reportedly banished Conor Gallagher from first-team training as he deliberates over a transfer to Atletico Madrid, for which a £33 million bid has been accepted. Gallagher has turned down multiple contract extensions from Chelsea, including the latest offer of a two-year deal. The midfielder is considering his options, with interest from Tottenham and Newcastle also in the mix. Chelsea are eager to resolve the situation due to financial regulations, aiming to avoid losing Gallagher for free next summer. Manager Enzo Maresca does not see Gallagher as a regular starter, further complicating his future at the club. Atletico Madrid are pressing for a decision soon, as they do not wish to wait indefinitely for Gallagher's response.
