Report: Club value player at £55m – Spurs and Atletico only want to pay £40m

GiveMeSport report that Tottenham and Atletico Madrid both want a £15m discount on Chelsea’s £55m asking price for Conor Gallagher this summer.

The Conor Gallagher transfer saga continues

Tottenham reportedly first looked at Conor Gallagher when Ange Postecoglou arrived in North London last summer, but the midfielder ended up remaining with his boyhood Chelsea for another season (Sky Sports).

90min reported this summer that Chelsea are ‘waiting to see’ whether Spurs actually bid for the 24-year-old, with Gallagher said to have a valuation of just £35m-£40m.

The Telegraph revealed more recently that Atletico Madrid are showing more interest than Spurs in the England international these days.

Chelsea want £55m for Conor Gallagher

GiveMeSport now report that Chelsea are standing firm on their Conor Gallagher price tag and are determined to get more than £50m for the midfielder.

In fact, the Blues are said to want a fee similar to the £55m Manchester United paid for Mason Mount last summer, if they are to cash in on another academy graduate.

However, Spurs and Atletico Madrid, both of whom are ones to watch in the race for Gallagher, are reportedly only willing to part with £40m for his services.

Spurs Web Opinion:

£55m is very steep for a player like Conor Gallagher. What you are getting is a player who is extremely fit, neat and tidy on the ball, and will press all day long for you.

You are not getting a big name who is going to completely transform the way you win football matches, which is usually what you would want from a near-club-record signing.
