With Chelsea captain Conor Gallagher closing in on a move to Spanish giants Atletico Madrid, one Blues fan rung the Sports Bar and admitted he's 'ashamed of the club' over the sale.
The 24-year-old has been on Chelsea ’s books since he was eight years old and after four loan spells away he broke into the first team two years ago.
Meanwhile, it's understood that Aston Villa had a club-record bid for Gallagher accepted in June, however, the player decided against the move.But a breakthrough was made this week with the west London outfit drastically lowering their valuation, accepting Atletico's bid of £33m, plus add-ons which could reach £37.9m.
He was awarded Academy Player of the Year for the 2018/19 season and got Championship experience with Charlton and Swansea in the Championship and West Brom and Crystal Palace in the Premier League.“This is another academy product, who already has a rapport with the fans, being sacrificed so our faceless sporting directors can play this ridiculous game of Championship Manager.
The bulk of those have come in the last 18 months, where he was a key member of the Euro 2024 squad that made it to the final.
