Tottenham, Newcastle United and Everton are all alerted to the possibility of signing Conor Gallagher in January as Atletico Madrid name their price.

According to Fichajes, Conor Gallagher could be made available in January as Atletico Madrid could demand between €50-60 million for the midfielder. Tottenham, Newcastle United and Everton are all vying for the England international’ signature, who could seek a return to England to boost his World Cup chances.

Conor Gallagher is no longer holding a key role in Diego Simeone’s side, as the Argentine manager prefers to use other players instead of the midfielder. There’s a strong possibility of the English star leaving Spain this January, with a return to the Premier League being mooted.

There had been a few clubs interested in the midfielder at the back end of the summer window, as Newcastle United angled a loan deal then. Atletico Madrid might have considered a permanent sale had interested clubs come in with a sizeable offer, as the Spanish side are now ready to sell him for around €50-60 million in January.

Newcastle United are expected to rekindle their interest, while Everton are also ready to take their chances by approaching. David Moyes seeks a quality midfielder who could offer something different from a central position, as the €50-60 million-rated La Liga midfielder could be the right fit for the Toffees.

They could sell the vision of making Gallagher a key star in their project, which might come with the possibility of regular game time. The midfielder is desperate to play regularly and boost his chances of playing for England at the World Cup, which, as things stand, are not looking good.

Why are Atletico Madrid willing to sell Conor Gallagher?

To compete with Newcastle United and Everton, Tottenham are seemingly seen as the front runners for Gallagher, as they too were told to pay a significant fee back in the summer. Thomas Frank could see a place for the €50-60 million-rated La Liga midfielder in his squad, with Gallagher reportedly open to the idea of returning to the Premier League.

Atletico Madrid opposed the idea of a winter exit earlier, but now they are open to the idea of selling the midfielder. Should they get a fee in the required price range, the Spanish giants might use the funds and the salary saved to recruit new players, as Simeone wants to strengthen the squad rather than weaken it.
