Chelsea Football Club is currently considering offering a new contract to their midfielder, Conor Gallagher. This decision comes after former manager Harry Redknapp advised the club to sell their "average" players in a summer fire sale, in order to avoid any transfer complications regarding Gallagher. There has been much speculation surrounding the young talent's future, with initial reports suggesting that Chelsea were planning to offload him. This news left fans puzzled, as Gallagher had been one of the team's standout players last season. However, the club's owners, BlueCo, have now changed their stance and are open to offering Gallagher a new deal.
Gallagher's current contract is set to expire at the end of next season, and there has been interest from other clubs such as Tottenham and Aston Villa for a potential deal this summer. Redknapp, who spoke to The Agency via Sorare, believes that Chelsea must do everything in their power to keep Gallagher at Stamford Bridge. He emphasized the importance of holding onto homegrown talents like Gallagher for the team's future success. Redknapp stated, "If it were up to me, I would keep him and sell some of the players that have been quite average since being bought by BlueCo."
Since BlueCo took over the club in 2022, Chelsea has spent over £1 billion on players. This includes the £88.5 million signing of Mykhailo Mudryk from Shakhtar Donetsk, who has only managed to score seven goals and provide four assists in 58 games. Mudryk recently addressed the club's fans, warning them not to have high expectations for him in the upcoming 2024-25 season.
Despite Mudryk's underwhelming performance, it is highly likely that Gallagher will be the player to leave Chelsea this summer. The club is facing financial pressure and needs to comply with profit and sustainability rules. This means they must find a "secret magic sum" to balance their books. In such situations, clubs often prioritize selling academy graduates, like Gallagher, as they bring in pure profit on the balance sheet.
In the midst of all this, fantasy football game Sorare has appointed Harry Redknapp as a manager, and fans have the opportunity to play against him in his Rivals League during the Euros. Participants also have a chance to win exciting prizes, including a meet and greet with Redknapp. For more information, visit www.sorare.com.
