Player firmly rejects chance to join Ruben Amorim’s squad | OneFootball

Although he has been identified as one of Ruben Amorim’s most desired targets for Manchester United, Conor Gallagher, Atlético de Madrid player, made it clear that he has no intention of leaving the Spanish club, as he stated in an extensive interview with AS newspaper.

"I am very happy here. My goal is to win titles with Atlético de Madrid, and I want to have a more important role in the team. As I’ve said, I will keep working as hard as possible to play more minutes and help the team," he began, having arrived in Spain from Chelsea for 40 million euros.

Even so, the English international did not hide his dissatisfaction with the limited playing time under Diego Simeone: "Of course I’m not satisfied. I don’t think anyone would be if they weren’t playing as much as they’d like, but I will keep working very hard so that every time I get an opportunity, I can help the team, and hopefully more opportunities will come for me to become a starter."

"Sometimes, it’s difficult to come on for just a few minutes and show everything I can do. But, as I’ve already said, the most important thing is to do what’s best for the coach and for the team, and that’s what I’m trying to do right now," he added.

Finally, Conor Gallagher denied that adaptation difficulties were the reason: "Sincerely, I don’t think there’s a big difference between La Liga and the Premier League. They are two of the best leagues in the world, and you play against the best footballers on the planet, so they are very similar competitions, and whatever the match, it’s always a tough clash against great rivals."
