Gallagher
Former Chelsea midfield maestro, Conor Gallagher, has opened up on why he left Chelsea.
According to a statement from Fabrizio Romano’s X handle on Friday, Gallagher said Chelsea’s new policy to sign players on long contracts was the main reason why he left Chelsea.
“Why Chelsea sold me? Clubs make their own decisions and they have brought in some top players on long contracts.
“That wasn’t the situation with me but, in the end, what happened is good for everyone, so everyone is happy”, he told Daily Mail.
Recall that the London club sold Gallagher to Athletico Madrid in a deal worth over £33m earlier in the summer transfer window.
Having made a couple of appearances for Atleti, Gallagher is currently with Lee Carsley’s England squad preparing for Saturday’s UEFA Nations League clash with the Republic of Ireland.
Speaking ahead of the fixture, the midfielder has hit back at the suggestion he was not technically good enough to succeed in Maresca’s system.
“I don’t think that’s true, personally, I think last season I had a good season with Chelsea and you could see by Pochettino playing me every game and showing his trust in me.
“And the fans appreciated what I did on the pitch. I’m very grateful for all of that and very thankful to the fans, and very thankful to Pochettino for giving me that platform to go and express myself and show the best version of myself at Chelsea.” Gallagher told reporters.
