“I will earn £200,000 per week” “Let me go” – Chelsea star set to leave club after latest offer

Journalist Matt Law claims that Conor Gallagher may be eligible to make up to £200,000 a week at Atletico Madrid after bonuses are deducted.

On Sunday night, Gallagher decided to go with Atletico after the Blues and the team agreed on a £33.7 million transfer for the 24-year-old.

The England international will travel to Spain this week to finalize his transfer to the Spanish capital, having verbally agreed to a five-year contract.

Gallagher could earn up to £200,000 per week

The decision brings to an end the saga on Gallagher’s future which has been a topic of conversation over the last 18 months and ensures Chelsea don’t lose the midfielder on a free next summer.

Gallagher, who has been at Chelsea since the age of eight and came through the ranks to the first team turned down the offer of a new two year deal with the option of a further 12 months as he wanted a longer term deal like many of his team-mates have signed.

However, he is now set to play Champions League football at Atletico and the way Diego Simeone plays is likely to suit the Englishman very well.

Gallagher is also in line for a bumper pay rise at the La Liga outfit and Law has reported he could earn up to £200,000 per week once bonuses are taken into consideration.

Law adds that Simeone pushed hard to convince Gallagher to move to Spain and that he sees him as a key part of what Atletico are looking to do moving forward.
