According to press reports, Conor Gallagher is close to leaving Atlético Madrid during the January winter transfer window, amid growing interest in his services from several prominent English clubs.

According to reports, Manchester United, Tottenham, and Newcastle are monitoring the situation of the 25-year-old English midfielder, preparing to make an official move to sign him in the near future.

Despite coach Diego Simeone's insistence on keeping Gallagher within the "Los Rojiblancos" squad, he admitted his inability to guarantee the player sufficient playing time, which prompted the club to reassess its position.

The sources clarified that Atlético Madrid's management has become open to the idea of Gallagher leaving in January, provided that the financial and technical conditions set by the club are met, in line with their plans for the current season.
