On August 2, according to journalist Ben Jacobs of the British media, Chelsea have informed Gallagher that he would only be a substitute player if he remains at the club.
He states that this is why Chelsea only offered Gallagher a 2+1 year contract, which was rejected both on Wednesday and in June. There are concerns that Maresca’s high-possession system might not suit Gallagher, who may not get as many starts as he did last season.
Chelsea believe that offering Gallagher a long-term contract would be a mistake from both a footballing and financial perspective and could jeopardize his chances of representing England at the 2026 World Cup.
Atlético Madrid’s offer is still under discussion, and it is understood that they want Gallagher to give an answer by Monday.
