During the clash with Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea fans brought a strong message to the stands, asking the club not to sell Conor Gallagher this summer.

There is a lot of information saying that Todd Boehly and his company are planning to sell Gallagher this summer, and Tottenham is said to be the ideal destination for this 24-year-old player.

However, before the London derby between Tottenham and Chelsea, fans at Stamford Bridge organized a special event by hanging a giant tifo sign with an image of Conor Gallagher and large letters: “Gallagher always belongs to Chelsea, since he was born.”

Chelsea are aiming to earn significant revenue this summer while still complying with the Premier League’s profit and sustainability regulations. They believe that selling adult players from their training academy is the most effective way to achieve this goal, as such transfers will count as 100% profit and generate a lot of space. More financial space for the club.

In addition, there is information that Newcastle is also interested in this 24-year-old player. The Magpies may offer a price of about 40 million pounds (equivalent to about 46 million euros or 49 million USD) for Gallagher.

 

For Chelsea, by the end of June 2024, they need to earn 100 million pounds (equivalent to about 125.3 million USD) from selling players before June 30 if they want to comply with financial regulations. Publicity (PSR) of the Premier League.

After the match between Chelsea and Tottenham this morning (May 3), when asked about the future of the 24-year-old midfielder, the Blues coach, Pochettino, frankly shared:

“I have nothing to do with it; I don’t know anything. But you can see that he is still in my starting lineup.”

“The decision about Conor Gallagher’s future is not in my hands. That needs to be resolved between the club and himself.”

Gallagher has captained Chelsea in more than half of their matches this season. According to statistics, he has been one of the Blues’ most prominent midfielders and a rare bright spot for the blue half of London since the beginning of the season.

But even if fans or coaches call for Gallagher to stay, there is a high possibility that this player will still be sold when the season ends. Although Chelsea have met the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability rules requirements this year, their financial position for the current and future seasons remains cause for concern.

The reason for this is because Chelsea did not participate in the Champions League this year and will continue to be absent from the C1 arena next season.

With no money being received from UEFA and transfer costs reaching more than £1 billion in the last three transfer windows, selling young players like Gallaghe for profit has become an urgent problem.

Todd Boehly has and will face backlash from Chelsea fans when he decides to sell Gallagher. However, the American owner does not have many positive options left to help the club avoid heavy penalties in the near future.
