Conor Gallagher is left in limbo in Madrid as Chelsea star remains in the dark over £33.7m move to Atletico... with the midfielder still waiting for the deal to be finalised

Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher's proposed move to Atletico Madrid is reportedly in limbo.

A £33.7million move has been agreed between the two clubs, with Gallagher travelling to the Spanish capital to complete a medical ahead of joining Diego Simeone's side.

However, it has since emerged that the England international's move to Madrid is contingent on Atletico offloading one of their players this summer.

Young forward Samu Omorodion was expected to join the Blues after impressing on loan at Alaves before the deal stalled after hitting a buffer on Sunday.
