EXCL: Gallagher's shock Chelsea return, Liverpool agree contract with €30m star, Arsenal deal advancing well, plus why Fernandes agent also spoke to other clubs

Everything heading in the right direction in Liverpool and Arsenal deals, plus the latest on a crazy saga at Chelsea...

Joao Felix could be key to unlocking Conor Gallagher transfer deal

Chelsea are not communicating anymore about Samu Omorodion. The player is now back training with Atletico Madrid while his agents are looking for a different solution for him. Meanwhile, Conor Gallagher has returned to London and is training at Cobham away from Enzo Maresca’s first-team.

It’s a tense situation but it’s also normal to an extent, as of course Gallagher can stay in Madrid for some days but he’s still a Chelsea player, so he had to return to London because Chelsea decided on this. Still, the discussion between Chelsea and Atletico Madrid is still ongoing, even yesterday they were still trying to find a solution for him, and also for Joao Felix.

Felix can be a solution after the Omorodion deal collapsed. For the moment, however, there is still a difference in what Atletico Madrid want and what Chelsea are willing to offer for Felix. The two clubs are talking, and Felix and Gallagher are the two points of discussion. Jorge Mendes, Felix’s agent, is still in England, and the conversations remain absolutely active.
