“I know he has possibly tried his best but his best is not enough anymore. This deal would bring in one the most sought-after striker in the world. I think this is a win win situation” – Chelsea is in the final stage of offloading a £50 million player to generate funds for the acquisition of a target currently in the La Liga.

Chelsea might secure approximately £50 million from the potential sale of Conor Gallagher in the upcoming January transfer window.

This financial boost could aid Chelsea in pursuing Brentford striker Ivan Toney, a target also being pursued by Arsenal.

Despite Gallagher’s significant contributions to Chelsea this season, his contract negotiations are unresolved, putting pressure on the club to consider his departure for the right price.

ESPN suggests that the asking price for Gallagher could be around £50 million, with interest from clubs like Newcastle, Tottenham, and West Ham United.

The challenge lies in finding a buyer willing to meet this valuation for the 23-year-old midfielder.

However, if Chelsea manages to generate funds through Gallagher’s sale, it could significantly impact their ability to outbid Arsenal in the potential pursuit of Toney.

The Brentford striker has been a focal point of recent discussions, with considerable interest in him leading up to the January transfer window.

Fabrizio Romano, speaking to CaughtOffside, suggests that we should not dismiss the possibility of Chelsea securing the 27-year-old ahead of Arsenal.
