The midfielder has rejected the club’s proposal of a two-year extension, with an option for a third year, leaving his future in jeopardy as his existing deal expires next summer.
Chelsea finds itself in a difficult situation, facing the risk of losing the England international without a transfer fee if a resolution isn’t reached.
Although Chelsea has accepted a £34 million bid from Atlético Madrid, Gallagher has refused to discuss personal terms with the Spanish side, complicating the matter further.
Manager Enzo Maresca has indicated that Gallagher is likely to play a limited role this season due to his incompatibility with the team's possession-centric tactics, further straining the relationship between player and club.
Amid this tension, Gallagher has declined offers from both Aston Villa and Atlético Madrid. In response, Chelsea has issued two conditions for Gallagher:
1. Engage in negotiations and agree on terms with Atlético Madrid.
2. Remain with Chelsea and honor the remainder of his contract, which runs until 2025.
