Conor Gallagher: The Chelsea Midfielder Attracting Interest from Germany
Conor Gallagher, the 23-year-old midfielder from Chelsea, is attracting interest from Borussia Dortmund in Germany. The Bundesliga runners-up have listed Gallagher as a candidate to replace Jude Bellingham, who recently signed with Real Madrid. Gallagher has been linked to several teams, including Tottenham and Brighton, but his price is likely to be prohibitive.
Gallagher’s Commitment to Chelsea
Despite the interest from other teams, Gallagher recently reaffirmed his commitment to Chelsea. He said, “I’m a Chelsea player and I love Chelsea. It’s been a really tough season for me and the whole team and club. We’ll work as hard as we can to get Chelsea back to where they belong.” Gallagher’s price is likely to be lifted by reported interest from Tottenham and Chelsea, but BVB have some spare cash after selling Bellingham for £88.5m, rising to £115m.
BVB’s Success with English Recruits
Borussia Dortmund has had huge success with English recruits, having previously sold Jadon Sancho to Manchester United for £73m. The new starlet Jamie Bynoe-Gittens looks like he’s on his way to the top. But they’re also interested in English-produced talent too, with United academy star Hannibal Mejbri also of interest according to the Manchester Evening News. After five first-team appearances and a goal, he spent last season on loan at Birmingham, the club where Bellingham was also picked up from. Now the Tunisian is attracting interest from his impressive Championship stint, with an offer of €15m [£13m] being considered.
Chelsea’s Need to Raise Funds
Gallagher is one of the players Chelsea are looking to raise funds from and thin down their bloated squad. Rated at as much as £50million by some outlets, Gallagher’s price is likely to be prohibitive. However, Chelsea needs to raise funds to make room for new signings and thin down their squad. Gallagher could be one of the players to go, but his commitment to the club may make it difficult for Chelsea to sell him.
Brighton’s Interest in Gallagher
Brighton has recently entered the race for Gallagher, according to talkSPORT. The midfielder has been linked to several teams, but Brighton’s interest is new. It remains to be seen if they will make a move for Gallagher, but their interest shows that he is a highly sought-after player.
Dortmund’s Interest in Gallagher
Sky Germany claims that Dortmund is keen on Gallagher and has listed him as a candidate to replace Bellingham. Dortmund has spare cash after selling Bellingham for £88.5m, rising to £115m. They have had huge success with English recruits, and Gallagher could be the next player to join their ranks. However, his price is likely to be prohibitive, and Chelsea’s commitment to the midfielder may make it difficult for Dortmund to sign him.
