"Aston Villa still have a way to go if they want to make good on their bid to bring Conor Gallagher to the club this month. The former Chelsea captain made a move to Atletico Madrid in 2024 and Unai Emery is said to be keen on a move to bring him back to the Premier League. Gallagher appeared in every game in all competitions for Diego Simeone's side this season - but most of his league outings have been from the bench."
"talkSPORT report that Villa are 'exploring' a move for Gallagher, who is said to be happy in Spain but 'would welcome' a Premier League move if that puts him more squarely in the thoughts of England manager Thomas Tuchel ahead of the World Cup. Manchester United are also reported to have been looking at a move for Gallagher, but the firmness of their interest is now in doubt following Ruben Amorim's dismissal."
Aston Villa are pursuing Conor Gallagher in January after his 2024 move from Chelsea to Atletico Madrid. Gallagher has appeared in every competition this season for Atletico but has mostly been used as a substitute in league matches. Villa are exploring a loan with obligation to buy, while Atletico prefer an immediate sale. Financial concerns including Premier League Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) influence Villa's willingness to pay transfer fees up front. Manchester United showed interest but that reportedly cooled after Ruben Amorim's dismissal. Gallagher is said to be happy in Spain but open to a Premier League return.
