Why Chelsea blocked £50m player from holding interviews during US tour, the situation is delicate
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Chelsea has reportedly prevented Conor Gallagher from conducting external interviews during the team’s tour of the United States, citing his “delicate” situation at Stamford Bridge. Gallagher’s contract with Chelsea is set to expire in two years, which typically marks a decision point for Todd Boehly, Chelsea’s co-owner, regarding contract extensions or potential sales.
Although there is currently no plan to extend Gallagher’s contract, Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea’s manager, and Boehly seem to have differing perspectives on the player. While Pochettino is not in a rush to sell Gallagher, Boehly would consider a decent offer for him.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, Gallagher has been trusted by Pochettino and has received significant playing time during Chelsea’s tour of the United States. This suggests that he may have won a place in Pochettino’s plans for the upcoming season.
Earlier reports indicated that Gallagher was a potential target for transfer, with West Ham making a £40 million bid and Chelsea reportedly open to selling for £50 million. However, recent indications from the Evening Standard suggest that Gallagher is likely to stay at Chelsea.
Gallagher’s performance during the tour and his contributions in scoring goals and delivering strong all-around performances have potentially influenced his standing at the club. It remains to be seen whether Gallagher will be offered a new contract by Boehly, which could clarify his future at Stamford Bridge.
