While Conor Gallagher expresses his desire to remain at Chelsea beyond January, with just 18 months left on his deal, Blues officials are contemplating cashing in on the midfielder during another potential transfer spree.
Despite ongoing talks about an extension, an agreement hasn’t been reached, and Chelsea is cognizant that the upcoming January window presents the last opportunity to sell Gallagher at his full value.
Responding to transfer speculations, Pochettino acknowledged the club’s decision-making role, stating, “It’s a decision for the club whether a player is to be or not to be [here].
My decision is clear – he’s in the starting XI, nearly every game, and a captain. He embodies the type of player every club desires.”
