Manchester United Reportedly Weigh Bid for Atlético Midfielder Conor Gallagher
Fichajes-sourced reports put United in front, with Atlético targeting about £52m, resisting any mid-season exit.
Overview
- Reports relayed in England say Manchester United are considering submitting an offer for Conor Gallagher and are described as the most interested Premier League suitor.
- Gallagher is portrayed as eager to return to the Premier League after limited minutes under Diego Simeone, with two La Liga starts this season following 19 league starts last term.
- Atlético Madrid are expected to seek around £50–52 million for the 25-year-old and, with four years left on his contract, hold a strong negotiating position.
- Coverage indicates Atlético do not want to lose the midfielder during the season, and previous attempts to take him on loan were rejected.
