The deal is off! Omorodion fails to agree on a transfer and disappears back to Spain. Will this jeopardise any more transfers between Chelsea and Atlético?

Atlético Madrid and Chelsea London are extremely active in this transfer window. Both teams are committed to a wider rebuilding of their squad, including mutual exchanges. Now, however, one of the transfers has fallen through. Striker Samu Omorodion has not come to an agreement with Chelsea and remains in Spain, which could also put other transfers in jeopardy.

• Omorodion’s transfer to Chelsea fails
• Conor Gallagher has just transferred to Madrid from the London club
• A replacement for the west London club is being dealt with

Atlético Madrid have been reaching for some significant reinforcements. In addition to Alvarez, Sorloth and Le Normand, Conor Galagher, who has so far defended the colours of the London Blues, was due to arrive in the Spanish capital.

On the other hand, Samu Omorodion, the 20-year-old striker who scored 8 goals in the last edition of the Spanish La Liga, was to travel in an exchange.

However, the Spaniard did not agree with Chelsea on the terms of the six-year contract offered. Thus, speculations about Gallagher’s transfer quickly began to spread through the ether.

However, as Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano wrote on the X platform a few hours ago, the Englishman’s transfer should not be affected by this setback.

On the contrary, there is talk about who could replace Omorodion. Portuguese striker Joao Felix, who last season wore the Barcelona jersey, where he was on loan from Atlético, is interested in returning.

He has scored seven times for Barcelona and has experience of English conditions, having already played for Chelsea. According to Roman, Felix’s agent should already be in London.
