Conor Gallagher recently turned down a new three-year contract extension at Chelsea, despite it being on par with the top earners in the squad.
Earlier in June, 24-year-old midfielder Conor Gallagher also rejected a club-record bid from Aston Villa, opting instead to remain at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea are inclined to sell Conor Gallagher abroad rather than to a Premier League rival, despite Atletico’s offer being less than Aston Villa’s.
Both Chelsea and Atletico are awaiting Gallagher’s response, which is expected before he returns to training at Cobham on August 6.
The club prefers to finalize Conor Gallagher’s departure now rather than risk losing him for free when his contract expires next summer. This approach is part of Chelsea’s strategy to avoid losing players as free agents.
