'Anything can happen' - Conor Gallagher transfer update issued by Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca as England midfielder edges closer to exit door amid Atletico Madrid interest

It was reported on Tuesday that La Liga giants Atletico Madrid are keen on signing Gallagher this summer. It's said that the Blues are willing to offload the England international for €35-40m (£29m-33m) and negotiations are underway between the two clubs.

Speaking to reporters, the former Leicester boss said: "Conor will be back with us at Cobham. He will be there in the next few days. When the window is open anything can happen, not only for Conor."

Other than Atletico, Tottenham and Aston Villa have also been linked with a move for the England international in the past. The West London side could be forced to sell the Three Lions star despite him emerging as a key player last season as they likely need to balance the books to fall in line with the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).

Maresca's men will play three more friendly matches against Club America, Manchester City and Real Madrid before leaving the U.S.
