Crystal Palace have made a formal approach to Atlético Madrid to discuss a possible deal for Conor Gallagher, with hopes of bringing the Chelsea midfielder back to Selhurst Park for a second spell. Sources suggest Atlético are also monitoring the situation, setting the stage for a potential transfer battle.
Gallagher, 25, is currently still with Chelsea, but with limited assurances of consistent game time under new management, a move could be on the cards. Palace, where he shined during the 2021/22 season on loan, see him as a key figure to strengthen their midfield and help build on the club’s strong finish under manager Oliver Glasner.
While Atlético Madrid have reportedly inquired about Gallagher as part of their midfield rebuild, Palace are hopeful that the player’s prior success and strong bond with the club and fans could tilt the deal in their favor.
From a football perspective, Gallagher brings tireless energy, versatility, and leadership—qualities Palace need as they aim to push into the top half of the Premier League table. For Gallagher, returning to a club where he felt trusted and central to the team could be the ideal step at this point in his career.
For fans, this potential move isn’t just about stats or transfer fees. It’s about bringing back a player who felt like one of their own—someone who wore the badge with passion.
Negotiations are still in early stages, and Chelsea’s stance on a permanent sale or loan deal remains unclear. However, with two strong suitors now circling, Gallagher’s future may be one of the most closely watched stories as the transfer window draws to a close.
