How much Tottenham would have to pay to land Conor Gallagher in January
A new report sheds light on what it would take for Tottenham Hotspur to prise Conor Gallagher away from Atletico Madrid in January.
Spurs Web has relayed a number of reports over the last two weeks stating that Tottenham view Conor Gallagher as a perfect fit for their midfield.
However, Spurs are expected to face plenty of competition for Gallagher’s signature, with several Premier League clubs keeping an eye on his situation.
Some sources have said that Atletico Madrid may not be too keen on losing the Spurs target in January, given the difficulty in finding a replacement mid-season.
How much would Tottenham have to pay for Conor Gallagher?
Tuesday’s print edition of Mundo Deportivo (as relayed by Sport Witness) has now confirmed that prising the midfielder away from the Metropolitano Stadium will not be easy in January.
Even though Gallagher has only made two starts so far this season, it is asserted that Tottenham Hotspur may find it difficult to convince the La Liga side to sell the 25-year-old.
This is because Diego Simeone’s men see the former Chelsea man as an important squad player. It is asserted that the Colchoneros would demand €60m (£52.3m) to part ways with Gallagher.
Gallagher’s World Cup hopes are hanging by a thread
However, Mundo Deportivo say that the England international’s prospects of forcing himself into the Atletico side are not high as he does not seem a great fit for Simeone’s side.
As a result, it is pointed out that the player is at risk of missing out on a place in the England squad for next summer’s World Cup.
However, journalist Pete O’Rourke said a couple of days ago that Gallagher may be hesitant to complete a transfer in January and could decide to hold tight until next summer.
