Tottenham Hotspur are ready to pay £35 million for 24-year-old Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher.
According to GiveMeSport, Tottenham Hotspur want Conor Gallagher in their ranks. The north London club are willing to pay £35 million to sign the 24-year-old Chelsea midfielder before next season.
Conor Gallagher and his uncertain future at Chelsea:
Gallagher’s future has been rumoured since the start of the season and it remains unchanged. The England international has been with Chelsea since he was a kid. He has been promoted at the club and will break into the first team in the summer of 2022.
Despite enjoying a decent first full season, there was talk of a possible departure in the summer, although this did not happen. Since then he has established himself in Mauricio Pochettino’s plans, but with his contract expiring in the summer of 2025, there are still doubts about his future.
The Blues would like to extend his stay at the club. However, the two sides cannot find common ground. If the west Londoners fail to extend his stay before the end of the season, there is a chance that he will leave for a bargain price.
Gallagher: Gallagher: Spurs’ dream signing
Tottenham is one of the clubs that would love to have him in their ranks. The north Londoners have been interested in Gallagher for some time. Ange Postecoglou thinks the 24-year-old central midfielder is perfect for the club. They wanted to sign him in the winter window but were unwilling to meet Chelsea’s £50 million valuation because of his expiring contract.
As the England international reaches the last 12 months of his contract, his value is decreasing. His real value in the summer will be around £30 or £35 million, an amount that Spurs will have no problem paying.
Tottenham want the 24-year-old in their ranks and believe his arrival could help them take the next step. Spurs are somewhat reticent and are still considering when to make a move for the Chelsea star.
