Transfer: Maresca Leaves Door Open for Gallagher Departure

Enzo Maresca and Conor Gallagher

Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca leaves door open for Conor Gallagher exit, as Atlético Madrid talks continue, saying 'anything can happen' during the transfer window.

Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca has refused to rule out a potential exit for midfielder Conor Gallagher, amid reports of interest from Atlético Madrid. Speaking about Gallagher's future, Maresca stated that the player will return to training at Cobham in the coming days, but left the door open for a transfer.

Maresca's comments suggest that Chelsea is open to negotiations, saying “if the transfer window is open, anything can happen for all the players.” This implies that Gallagher's future is not set in stone, and a move to Atlético Madrid or another club is still possible.

With Atlético and Chelsea reportedly in talks, Gallagher's situation will be closely watched in the coming days. The midfielder has impressed during his loan spells and has attracted interest from several clubs. Only time will tell if he will remain at Chelsea or embark on a new adventure.
