Conor Gallagher may be forced to leave Atletico Madrid after just one season at the club, due to a peculiar La Liga rule which impacts English players.

Crystal Palace are reportedly exploring a sensational move to bring Conor Gallagher back to Selhurst Park, with talks already held with Atletico Madrid over a potential deal. The England midfielder, who starred during his 2021-22 loan spell with the Eagles, could return either on loan or permanently, depending on Atletico’s stance in the coming weeks.

GOAL runs the rule over the British players earning a living away from their homeland, with plenty more stars deciding to leave the comforts of Great Britain in search of a better footballing life elsewhere. The Premier League is still obviously one of the world's most entertaining divisions and the Championship can prove fantastic for development, but there are more options out there.
