Conor Gallagher, England’s talented midfielder, has shared an emotional farewell with Chelsea fans after his transfer to Atletico Madrid was finalized. The Spanish club signed Gallagher for a reported fee of £33 million, and the 24-year-old has committed to a five-year contract with them.
On Wednesday, after the move was confirmed, Gallagher took to social media to express his gratitude to Chelsea and its supporters. He reflected on his time at the club, saying that the memories he made there will always hold a special place in his heart.
Gallagher’s message was filled with appreciation for the moments he experienced at Stamford Bridge. He mentioned how much it meant to him to hear fans chanting his name and how proud he felt every time he wore the Chelsea shirt, especially when he had the honor of captaining the team.
“To everyone at Chelsea, thank you for making my dreams a reality. Every moment on the pitch was special, and captaining the team was beyond anything I could have imagined,” Gallagher shared. “The love and support from the fans, especially hearing my name at the Bridge and seeing the banner during the Spurs match, is something I’ll never forget.”
He closed his message by wishing the club the best for the future, expressing hope that he will return to Stamford Bridge someday.
In a related development, 24-year-old Atletico forward Joao Felix is expected to make the switch to Chelsea, with a fee reportedly agreed in principle between the clubs.
