Atlético and Tottenham agree Conor Gallagher transfer deal | OneFootball

The Atlético de Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur have finalized the transfer agreement for Conor Gallagher. As speculated in recent hours, the signing was completed pending the medical examination, and so it has been. The English midfielder returns to his country after a season and a half, having joined the Metropolitano in 2024 from Chelsea, in the deal that marked the definitive departure of Joao Félix. Since his arrival, Gallagher played 77 matches in the red and white jersey, where he scored a total of seven goals and provided seven assists.

The 25-year-old English player is already in British territory. After the transfer of Gallagher to Tottenham was confirmed, the now-former Atlético player stated: "I am very happy and excited to be here, taking a new step in my career at this incredible club." These are the first words from the midfielder upon his arrival in London, where he affirmed: "I wanted to be a Spurs player and fortunately, the club felt the same. It was very straightforward, it happened very quickly, and I am ready to step onto the field."

Through his social media, Conor Gallagher bid farewell to Atlético and its fans. He did so with a heartfelt message. The Englishman began with: "Atleti, thank you very much for everything!" During his message, he noted: "It has been an absolute pleasure to be part of this family for the past two years. The club's culture and community are very special. It has been a privilege to represent this great club and everyone involved with it." And to the fans, he said: "You fans have given me all your support, and I have always given you my best."

He concluded with a warm message to his teammates and coaching staff: "A big thank you to all my teammates and the first-team staff, thank you for everything. I wish the club the best for the rest of the season and the future. An experience and a city I will never forget."

Gallagher's Transfer Price

Various unofficial reports suggest that the transfer was finalized at around 40 million euros. An unthinkable figure at the beginning of the winter market itself, with which the sports management of the Metropolitano will attempt to secure the signing of a new midfielder to replace the departing Englishman.
