Chelsea want to take Omorodion at any cost and are preparing a new offer. EFE

Samu Omorodion has been on Chelsea's radar for some time and, according to Fabrizio Romano and Gianluca Di Marzio among others, the Blues have taken advantage of the talks with Atletico for Conor Gallagher to insist again on the 'Colchonero' striker. The deal could be closed in this case for 50 million.

Conor Gallagher's transfer to Atletico Madrid is a done deal. The player has already given his approval and all that remains is for him to head to the Spanish capital to join the Rojiblanco team.

Things have been moving fast and in recent days, contact between Chelsea and Atletico has been constant. The Blues have taken advantage of this relationship with the Spanish side to reiterate their interest in Samu Omorodion, for whom they made an offer of 40 million at the beginning of the summer that was rejected.

Fabrizio Romano claims that Chelsea are still very interested in signing the striker for the 2024-25 season and have reportedly told Atletico. The Colchonero club will have the final say on the matter. This move would have nothing to do with the Gallagher deal.

For the midfielder, the institution presided by Enrique Cerezo will pay around 47 million and, according to Gianluca Di Marzio, for Omorodion the Blues could put 50 million on the table. However, Fabrizio Romano says that this amount would be 35.

At Stamford Bridge they will fight until the last minute for Samu Omorodion, as he is the striker that Enzo Maresca wants in his ranks.
