Conor Gallagher has completed his protracted move to Atletico Madrid from Chelsea in a £36m deal.
Gallagher’s move looked to have fallen through following the collapse of Chelsea’s move for Atletico striker Samu Omorodion, but the deal was revived after the Blues agreed to sign Joao Felix from the Spanish club.

Atletico remained determined to sign Gallagher, having been impressed by him during his five-day stay in Madrid and how he handled the situation, which only reinforced their desire to have him in their squad.
The England international passed a medical and agreed a five-year deal to join Atletico while in Madrid, and had been pictured in the Wanda Metropolitano by the club, before having to return.
But the 24-year-old is now officially an Atletico player after signing a deal at the club until 2029.
