According to the Marca, the club will not sell Gallagher easily unless Atletico Madrid receives a huge offer.
Although Gallagher is currently the only player who may change the roster that Atletico Madrid has basically determined, the club is also ready to receive a Premier League offer within four days before the transfer window is closed. The Premier League is the only league that has both economic strength and Gallagher's characteristics. Gallagher is not going to leave, but if he really wants to leave, certain conditions must be met so that Atletico Madrid can introduce a replacement.
This summer, Gallagher's name appeared on the signing lists of several Premier League clubs, but none of them really took action. This may change as the transfer period approaches its end. In fact, Tottenham was seen as one of the most likely clubs to pursue the England international when he failed to sign Nico Pas and wanted to build a strong team to compete in the Champions League.
Faced with this possibility, Atletico Madrid's senior management has begun to prepare. They did not proactively seek to sell the player who, despite failing to impress in his first season, remained a key member of the Simeone program. Therefore, if a quote really comes, their attitude is very clear: either it is a huge quote, otherwise it is not allowed to negotiate.
Atle Madrid does not intend to sell Gallagher at a low price, and any negotiations below the 42 million euros spent on buying from Chelsea last summer will not be considered. In fact, it is only possible for both sides to start serious discussions when the offer reaches between 50 million and 60 million euros, whether it is with Tottenham under Levi or any other club interested in Gallagher.
This shows that once a transfer occurs, it not only needs to bring considerable income to Atletico Madrid, but also cannot affect the completed plans. That is to say, the income generated by Gallagher's departure must be enough to ensure that Atletico Madrid can find a suitable replacement in the market. In other words, before solving the winger problem that Simeone longs longed for, it also needs to make sure there is a midfielder to replace Gallagher in order to keep the team's roster balanced.
