16 August 2024 - 8:40 am

Atletico Madrid are currently unable to sign Connor Gallagher after Samou Omorodion’s move to Chelsea failed. Club owners are desperate to complete the deal as soon as possible, although they must wait for Joao Felix to be sold before proceeding.

While they wait for Gallagher, Atletico have the opportunity to sign a former midfield target. According to a report in Footmercato (via MD ), Sofyan Amrabat is an option to strengthen the central position of Diego Simeone’s team.

Amrabat came to the attention of Atletico Madrid during the winter, but he eventually joined Manchester United on a six-month loan. He returned to Fiorentina and would have the chance to move on if given the chance.

Atletico Madrid may consider Amrabat’s options later this month, but for now they are fully backing Gallagher. However, they are relying on a big sale before relaunching the deal. The wait continues.
