Chelsea will consider bids for midfielder Conor Gallagher this summer, after claims Liverpool are interested in signing him.
That’s according to reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano, writing in his Daily Briefing column for CaughtOffside’s Substack.
As per the report, the Blues could look to offload the homegrown talent at the end of the season as they look to balance the books, in order to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations.
“I’m aware there has been talk of Liverpool, Newcastle and others eyeing up Conor Gallagher,” said Romano.
“His departure this summer is a possibility, but nothing clear yet on clubs approaching him. There’s nothing advanced at this stage.
“Chelsea will consider bids as they need to sell some players but nothing is 100% decided yet.”
Chelsea will consider bids for Gallagher
As Liverpool fans, we would be slightly disappointed with the club choosing to sign Gallagher.
Having been linked with Jude Bellingham for years to only then pull out of the race, the 23-year-old would be a step-down from the Borussia Dortmund star.
Despite making 28 Premier League appearances this season, the England international started just 12 of these games.
He hasn’t warranted a regular spot in Chelsea’s starting XI, so it raises questions why the Reds think he improves Jurgen Klopp’s squad.
Admittedly, he is a very good runner. However, with an overhaul of the midfield in sight, Liverpool could surely do better than the Blues player.
