Chelsea Held Positive Talks To Sign £25M Rated Brazilian Midfielder As Conor Gallagher’s Replacement

1 min read

Atletico Madrid recently sealed the signing of the England international for a fee worth around £36m from Chelsea, and there has been speculation that the Blues will seek to replace him.

Though Chelsea have lined up replacements for Conor Gallagher, but a positive talks haven’t been held.

But as it stands the blues are working underground to secure the signature of Brazil and Fulham Midfielder, Andreas Pereira.

Close sources told Footyvaild that Fulham won’t sell Chelsea transfer target Andreas Pereira for less than £25m.

Pereira seems to be among the candidates being considered but you would have to say that head coach Enzo Maresca already has plenty of options available to him in midfield.

With Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Romeo Lavia, Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, Lesley Ugochukwu, Carney Chukwuemeka, Cole Palmer and even Christopher Nkunku able to play in central positions, you don’t really need to make any further additions.

At 28, the Brazilian Midfielder is also said to be  too old for a club who don’t sign players over the age of 25.

Moreover Andreas Pereira came through the ranks of Manchester United, he spent eight years at Old Trafford, going on four separate loan spells, before eventually leaving on a permanent basis for Fulham in the summer of 2022.
