Premier League Clubs Track Conor Gallagher as Atlético Cool on January Sale

Reports indicate Atlético will only consider a sizeable January bid, with Gallagher's limited minutes sharpening his World Cup calculations.

Overview

  • Manchester United, Tottenham, Newcastle, Everton and Crystal Palace have asked to be kept informed of Gallagher’s situation ahead of the winter window, according to TBR Football.
  • The 25-year-old has logged just 99 LaLiga minutes this season after new midfield arrivals pushed him behind options such as Koke and Pablo Barrios.
  • Gallagher started Atlético’s 3-2 Champions League loss at Liverpool but was withdrawn on the hour, underscoring his inconsistent role.
  • Football Insider reports Atlético are reluctant to sanction a mid-season exit and would seek a fee in the region of £50m, with the midfielder tied to a long-term contract.
  • Football España notes a loan could be explored in January, while interest from Spurs and Newcastle is buoyed by their ability to offer Champions League football as Gallagher weighs 2026 World Cup prospects.
