Exclusive: Gallagher's new Chelsea plan revealed after talks collapse

Conor Gallagher is still hoping to renew his contract at Chelsea despite long-running uncertainty over his future, sources have told Football Insider.

Football Insider revealed on Monday (10 June) that the Blues are fearful of losing Gallagher, 24, on a free transfer when his current deal expires in 12 months.

Club chiefs are wary of a “big blow”, sources say, if the England international remains at the club past the end of the upcoming summer window, which opens on Friday (14 June).

Chelsea had held talks with Gallagher about a new deal but those discussions broke down some time ago and are yet to be revived.

It is believed the midfielder, who captained Mauricio Pochettino’s side regularly in the 2023-24 campaign, will not be forced out of Stamford Bridge against his will this summer.
