During the summer, several notable players, including Edouard Mendy, Kalidou Koulibaly, and N’Golo Kante, left Chelsea for clubs in Saudi Arabia. Recently, there has been interest from the region in Conor Gallagher as well.
Football Transfers reports that Steven Gerrard, the coach of Al-Ettifaq, has expressed interest in adding Gallagher to his squad and has even contacted the England international to discuss his plans. However, Gallagher is unlikely to move to the Middle East. He wishes to extend his stay at Chelsea through a new contract, despite the potential financial gains he could secure in Saudi Arabia. His current contract at Stamford Bridge is set to expire in 2025.
This interest from Gerrard in Gallagher has not been well-received by Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino and other club officials. They are reportedly angered by Gerrard’s attempts to unsettle Gallagher, making any potential deal with Al-Ettifaq unlikely.
Despite Chelsea’s recruitment of several midfielders this year, Gallagher still has the opportunity to fight for his place. Pochettino has even entrusted him with the captain’s armband on a few occasions this season. The 23-year-old seems willing to commit his future to Chelsea, where he developed through the academy before making his mark in the first team after various loan spells.
Gallagher has made appearances in all 10 of Chelsea’s matches in the Premier League and Carabao Cup this season, surpassing the half-century mark for appearances for the club. If he stays at Chelsea, it would be a success story for their academy, especially after parting ways with notable players in the summer.
Even if he were to leave the club, Gallagher has attracted interest from other London clubs like Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United, indicating his value and potential in the football market. Ultimately, his priority is to establish a long-term career with Chelsea.
