Conor Gallagher decided to snub Leeds United for Crystal Palace in the summer of 2021, and now the Chelsea-owned midfielder could find himself playing alongside Neymar and Lionel Messi at Paris Saint-Germain, according to The Sun.
Conor Gallagher snubbed Leeds United
TEAMtalk reported in July 2021 that Gallagher rejected a loan move to Leeds to join Palace from Chelsea in the summer of 2021.
Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa was keen on signing the English midfielder, but he choose to move to Palace on loan instead.
The Whites even had a loan deal agreed with Chelsea.
While Leeds are struggling for survival in the Premier League at the moment, Gallagher has gone from strength to strength at the Eagles.
Gallagher has scored six goals and provided three assists in 17 Premier League matches for Patrick Vieira’s side so far this campaign.
The 21-year-old has also played once for England.
PSG interest
And now, according to The Sun, Paris Saint-Germain want to sign him.
The British tabloid has reported that PSG head coach Mauricio Pochettino is a big fan of Gallagher and wants to sign him either in the January transfer window or in the summer of 2022.
Chelsea themselves might be willing to cash in on Gallagher.
PSG are a star-studded team who signed Messi on a free transfer in the summer of 2021.
And maybe, just maybe, Gallagher could play alongside the Argentine great in the not-too-distant future.
Snubbing Leeds for Palace might work out great for Gallagher.
