Manchester United Weigh January Bid for Atlético’s Conor Gallagher at £50m-Plus Price

Limited starts in Madrid have put Gallagher in play at a price reported near £50–52m.

Overview

  • Manchester Evening News cites Mundo Deportivo reporting Atlético would consider a January sale if offers reach about €60m (£52.4m).
  • Football Talk and CaughtOffside relay Fichajes claims that United are the most interested suitor and are evaluating a proposal.
  • Reports say Atlético prefer not to sanction a mid-season exit, with the club strengthened by Gallagher’s contract running for four more years.
  • Gallagher has started only two La Liga games this season after 19 league starts last term, and multiple outlets say he is open to a Premier League return for regular minutes.
  • United view Gallagher as a more attainable target than Brighton’s £110m-rated Carlos Baleba and as a possible Casemiro successor, while Tottenham, Newcastle and Crystal Palace are also keeping tabs.
