Conor Gallagher's transfer to Madrid's "Atletico" is in jeopardy.

"Atletico" has already reached an agreement with "Chelsea" regarding the 24-year-old Englishman's transfer, but unexpectedly, due to the failed transfer of Samu Omorodion in the opposite direction, the Madrid club cannot yet sign a contract with C. Gallagher.

Both clubs are looking for solutions, and now "Atletico" is offering "Chelsea" Joao Felix; however, these negotiations may take some time.

For this reason, "Chelsea" ordered a flight on Tuesday, and C. Gallagher is required to return to London if "Atletico" does not find a way to sign a contract with the player soon, reports journalist Fabrizio Romano.

It is emphasized that this does not mean C. Gallagher's transfer to "Atletico" will not happen.
