A new club for Conor Gallagher? Chelsea in danger of losing midfielder as another Premier League club enters race to sign him amid breakdown in contract talks

Gallagher has been one of the few consistent performers for Chelsea in what has been a rather inconsistent season under Mauricio Pochettino. With the 24-year-old's contract set to expire next summer, the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/mauricio-pochettino-chelsea-board-fix-conor-gallagher-situation-tottenham-transfer-link-captain-stars-derby-victory/blt263aaf062a826e26" target="_blank">Blues have undertaken contract talks with Gallagher, which have hit a brick wall</a>. As such, a number of Premier League sides have shown a fleeting interest in the midfielder. As per <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/05/18/aston-villa-interested-signing-chelsea-conor-gallagher/" target="_blank">The Telegraph</a>, one of those clubs is Aston Villa, who look to prepare for their participation in the Champions League next season with the addition of more quality in their ranks.

WHAT HAPPENED?

As per the report, Unai Emery is fond of Gallagher and the Villains may look to offer striker Jhon Duran to Chelsea to sweeten the deal to sign the midfielder this summer. Chelsea's goalscoring troubles in the first half of the season saw them target Duran before his injury ruled him out of contention. Aston Villa will likely have to battle with Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur in order to sign Gallagher this summer.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Early in the year, the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/chelsea-fans-send-out-strong-conor-gallagher-message-todd-boehly-and-co-impressive-tifo-during-tottenham-clash/blt42c7ddb0b2a793a3" target="_blank">Chelsea ownership came under heavy fire from fans</a> with reports suggesting that the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/chelsea-reece-james-conor-gallagher-sale-attempt-keep-line-with-ffp-rules-following-gbp1bn-spend/blt1fb17e272523bda9" target="_blank">Blues were looking to actively part ways with the Epsom-born midfielde</a>r due to their concerns regarding the Premier League's Profitability and Sustainability rules. The sale of Gallagher would reportedly show up as a 100% profit on the Blues' books with the midfielder having come up through the youth ranks at Chelsea.

DID YOU KNOW?

Gallagher will likely wear the captain's armband for Chelsea later today when they take on Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge, in what could be the midfielder's last appearance for the club.
