Chelsea banish Gallagher from first-team, informing him that he will not be part of the team

The Chelsea midfielder has been a transfer target for Spanish side Atletico Madrid who are looking to improve their team.

The midfielder is now Atletico Madrid-bound after Chelsea accepted a transfer bid for the England international.

Chelsea agreed on a £33 million transfer fee with Atletico Madrid but the deal is yet to reach its final stage.

According to Daily Mail, Gallagher has been informed that he is not welcomed to the Chelsea dressing room when he returns from his holiday.

According to reports, Gallagher is willing to remain at his childhood club if a longer-term contract is given.

Gallagher turned down a £57.5 million offer from Aston Villa in June, but Chelsea offered him a new deal that would have been two years with a one-year option.

However, he rejected the new contract offer which led the club to try to cash in on the Euro 2024 finalist.

Chelsea received the most recent offer from Atletico Madrid which was accepted as the midfielder edged closer to leaving the club.

After agreeing on the fee with Chelsea, Atletico Madrid have been pressing for a response, but Gallagher isn't quite sure it's the right move for him.

As it stands, there has been no confirmation of the move and Chelsea are awaiting Gallagher’s decision.
