Chelsea will consider bids for Conor Gallagher amid interest from Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur among other clubs, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Chelsea could sell Liverpool and Tottenham target Conor Gallagher
The Italian journalist has told CaughtOffSide that Chelsea will consider bids for the midfielder, and that the former Crystal Palace loanee could genuinely leave the Blues in the summer transfer window.
However, Romano has made it clear that no final decision has yet been made on the future of the 23-year-old England international midfielder.
90min have reported that Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool and Tottenham are among the clubs who are keen on securing the services of Gallagher.
Newcastle United, Crystal Palace and Leicester City are also claimed to be interested in the youngster.
Romano said: “I’m aware there has been talk of Liverpool, Newcastle and others eyeing up Conor Gallagher.
“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.”
HITC Verdict: Conor Gallagher could stay at Chelsea
In our view, Conor Gallagher may not leave Chelsea at the end of the season.
Yes, the midfielder has not played regularly this season, but that was under Thomas Tuchel and then Graham Potter.
Whether the youngster gets much playing time between now and the end of the season under interim manager Frank Lampard is unlikely to be the decisive factor.
Gallagher has come through the Chelsea academy, and the midfielder could give it one more go at the Blues under a new manager next season.
After all, whoever replaces Lampard at the end of the current campaign could at least give Gallagher a chance in pre-season.
