The Fichajes website revealed that Atletico Madrid has determined its final stance on the future of Conor Gallagher, amid growing interest from Manchester United to sign him during the winter transfer window. The Spanish club confirmed its complete refusal to let the player leave on loan, setting 30 million euros as a fixed price to start negotiations, considering it the minimum acceptable offer.

This position comes due to the limited midfield options available to coach Diego Simeone, who relies on Koke, Pablo Barrios, and Jonny Cardoso alongside Gallagher. The player has participated in 18 matches this season totaling 625 minutes, but he is seeking a larger role to secure his place in the 2026 World Cup squad, which has sparked interest from several English clubs.

According to the same report, Manchester United is the most eager to sign Gallagher to strengthen their midfield and add more energy to the team. Nevertheless, Atletico remains firm in its position and does not intend to let the player go for less than the specified amount, especially since he has clearly developed since arriving in La Liga, both tactically and in adapting to the Spanish league’s style.

The report confirmed that Gallagher will remain one of the most prominent names in the winter transfer market, with Atletico insisting on his role within the current team project.
