The future of Conor Gallagher is one of the topics of conversation before the end of the summer transfer window as Atlético de Madrid needs to finalize his departure to secure a new signing.

Four Premier League clubs – Manchester United, West Ham United, Crystal Palace, and Newcastle United – have shown interest in acquiring the English midfielder. The battle for his incorporation promises to be one of the most intense storylines in the final days of the summer window.

At 25 years old, Gallagher is at a key point in his career. After joining Atlético from Chelsea in a £33 million transfer, the midfielder has shown character and physical prowess in LaLiga. However, the possibility of returning to England, where he already made an impact, could mark a new chapter in his career.

His profile fits what several Premier League managers are looking for: intensity, attacking prowess, and the ability to win back balls in the opponent's half. This versatility makes him an attractive option for teams in need of midfield strength.

Crystal Palace, a special connection

Among the suitors, Crystal Palace holds fond memories of the 2021/22 season when Gallagher played on loan and was named Player of the Year after scoring eight goals and providing three assists in 34 matches. His bond with the Selhurst Park fans is so strong that in 2022, he refrained from celebrating a goal against the Eagles while wearing Chelsea's shirt.

This connection could work in Palace's favor as they need to strengthen their midfield following Eberechi Eze's departure to Arsenal. His return would be seen as a strategic and emotional move.

Manchester United and West Ham also in the mix

Manchester United, under Rúben Amorim's guidance, is seeking quality alternatives without extravagant spending. After ruling out a big-money move for Carlos Baleba, the option of Gallagher gains traction due to his price and proven performance in the English league.

On the other hand, West Ham United sees in him an opportunity to add dynamism to their midfield. With the stalled signing of Mateus Fernandes, the arrival of the English international would address the need for a reliable box-to-box midfielder.

Newcastle and Everton, keeping an eye on the situation

Newcastle United doesn't want to fall behind. Injuries to Joelinton and Sandro Tonali have left significant gaps in Eddie Howe's team, and Gallagher's ability to adapt to different roles makes him ideal for a high-intensity system.

Although Everton is also on the list of interested parties, their financial issues complicate any major moves, reducing their chances compared to rivals with stronger financial backing.

A pivotal decision for Atlético de Madrid

Atlético de Madrid didn't plan to part ways with Gallagher so soon. However, market pressure and offers from the Premier League could change the course of events. With half of the English league closely monitoring his situation, his future could be resolved within days.

The outcome will not only determine the player's fate but also mark the end of the transfer window for Atlético, potentially losing a key midfielder but possibly gaining significant economic benefits in the short term.
