Conor Gallagher's Chelsea Return as Atletico Madrid Move Faces Uncertainty

Conor Gallagher is set to return to Chelsea’s Cobham training ground on Wednesday as his proposed transfer to Atletico Madrid remains uncertain. The 24-year-old England international spent five days in Madrid, even visiting Atletico’s Metropolitano Stadium, but his £33 million move has hit a snag.

The transfer was put on hold after Chelsea’s own deal to sign Spanish striker Samu Omorodion fell through on Sunday due to disagreements over personal terms. With Atletico needing to secure a major sale to fund Gallagher’s transfer—following their £81.5 million signing of Julian Alvarez from Manchester City—the situation remains delicate.

Though the move isn’t entirely off the table, its collapse is a real possibility. A potential solution could involve Chelsea signing Portugal forward Joao Felix from Atletico, a player who spent six months on loan at Stamford Bridge in 2023. If a deal for Felix is struck, it might pave the way for Gallagher’s transfer. However, without an agreement on Felix, Gallagher’s move to Madrid is likely to fall through.

Chelsea are keen to finalize the sale to avoid losing Gallagher on a free transfer, with just 11 months remaining on his contract. The coming days will be crucial in determining whether the midfielder’s future lies in London or Madrid.

Mohamed Salah Expresses Disappointment Over Lack of New Liverpool Contract

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has voiced his frustration at the club’s failure to offer him a new contract, casting doubt on his future at Anfield. The 32-year-old, who has been Liverpool’s standout performer this season with 12 goals in all competitions, is set to become a free agent in the summer.

Speaking after Liverpool’s thrilling 3-2 victory over Southampton on Sunday, where Salah scored twice—including a decisive penalty—he admitted feeling disheartened.

“We are almost in December, and I haven’t received any offers yet to stay at the club,” Salah told reporters. “I’m probably more out than in.”

When asked if the lack of an offer disappointed him, Salah confirmed, “Of course, yeah. I’m not going to retire soon. I’m just focusing on the season, trying to win the Premier League and hopefully the Champions League as well.”

Since joining Liverpool from Roma in 2017, Salah has become a fan favorite, helping the team secure a Premier League title, Champions League trophy, and several domestic and international honors. Despite his current concerns, Salah expressed his deep connection to the club.

“You know I have been in the club for many years. There is no club like this,” he said. “I love the fans, and the fans love me. In the end, it is not in my hands or the fans’ hands. Let’s wait and see.”

Tottenham Crush Manchester City in Historic Etihad Triumph

James Maddison inspired Tottenham Hotspur to a sensational 4-0 victory over Manchester City, ending the hosts’ incredible 52-match unbeaten streak at the Etihad Stadium. This marks City’s first five-game losing run since 2006 and their heaviest home defeat since 2003.

Maddison delivered a stellar performance, scoring twice to put City on the back foot. Pedro Porro added a third with a clinical finish, while Brennan Johnson sealed the emphatic win with a last-minute goal, capping an unforgettable night for Ange Postecoglou’s side.

Despite missing key players and coming off a disappointing loss to Ipswich, Tottenham defied expectations with a disciplined and clinical display. Postecoglou’s team, featuring a youthful bench, rose to the occasion and moved up to sixth in the league, just four points behind City.

Everton Held to Frustrating Draw Against 10-Man Brentford

Everton endured a disappointing goalless draw against Brentford in the Premier League, failing to capitalize on a second-half numerical advantage after Christian Norgaard’s red card.

Sean Dyche’s side, with just two wins this season, remains three points above the relegation zone. Despite only one loss in their last eight matches, their inconsistent form continues to leave them precariously close to danger.

The Toffees started strongly at Goodison Park, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin testing Brentford’s goalkeeper, Mark Flekken. Flekken delivered a stunning save to deny Calvert-Lewin’s flicked header and later blocked another attempt at the near post.

Brentford almost scored against the run of play through Yoane Wissa, but Everton’s Jordan Pickford made a crucial save with his outstretched leg. Momentum appeared to shift when Norgaard was sent off late in the first half for a dangerous knee-high tackle on Pickford. Referee Chris Kavanagh reviewed the incident on the pitchside monitor before showing the red card.

Despite their one-man advantage, Everton struggled to break down a resolute Brentford defense in the second half. Idrissa Gueye’s long-range strike was expertly saved by Flekken, while Vitaliy Mykolenko squandered a golden opportunity from close range.

Brentford nearly stole a victory late on, but Keane Lewis-Potter’s effort was straight at Pickford. Thomas Frank’s side earned their first away point of the season, climbing to 10th in the table.
