England international has 18 months left on his contractClub are reluctant to keep players whose deals are running down
Conor Gallagher is ready to hold firm and fight for his future at Chelsea despite the club’s willingness to listen to offers for the midfielder this month.
Gallagher’s contract expires at the end of next season and there has been no sign of a new deal being agreed. Chelsea, who are in talks to loan Ian Maatsen to Borussia Dortmund with an option to buy, have been reluctant to keep players whose contracts are running out. They would prefer to act to avoid any prospect of losing Gallagher on a free transfer, particularly with financial fair play considerations to take into account.
