Chelsea midfielder now lies at the centre of an internal feud in the club. There’s a fragment within the club follows him selling in the summer fervently. The game has been riding on and on for Gallagher, aged 24, for the past one year and even in January.
Chelsea is dropping clues and warnings that he might be going out. He would be just a pure ‘profit product’ from academy education and that academy background would help to cover any Financial Fair Play requirements. In any case, manager Mauricio Pochettino is categorical about Gallagher and it is totally understandable.
England midfielder has been Chelsea’s best player of the season so far, with a convincing run of consistent performance and captaining the team. Furthermore, he did so on the back of Reece James, the captain of the team. Gallagher’s contribution can be further highlighted by his winning goal against Leeds United in the FA Cup, which is seen as a vital part of Pochettino’s competent squad.
What is the latest news on this speculation at Chelsea?
By the end of this season, the 24-year-old player faces uncertain of a future not withstanding his already decent performance. His contract will end in 2025, but almost no talks about the extension are ongoing. Chelsea has ended up in the same place as Mason Mount a year ago when he left for Manchester United. Mount, a youth team product, was bought after Chelsea stalled on contract extension seeming to imply the player was surplus to requirement.

It could be that Gallagher too, could meet the same fate. As far as Pochettino is concerned, even if he would rather just stand aside it’s still essential that he has an influence in the person they’re going to appoint. He said, “I consider myself a coach. Although this [transfer business] should be my place.” Still, Pochettino remarked it can be also beyond his duties. What Pochettino said about a potential extension for Gallagher was blurring the lines, “I’m not helping with that. Conor’s agent and the club are the one’s that have to come up with the deal.” It seems that there is more to come.
