Manchester United are exploring the possibility of signing 25-year-old midfielder Conor Gallagher from Atl\u00e9tico Madrid in the January transfer window, according to early rumours circulating around the club. While nothing has been confirmed by either side, sources suggest that Atl\u00e9tico may be open to a loan move if an obligation-to-buy clause is included in the deal.<\/p>\n
Gallagher, who joined Atl\u00e9tico last year after Chelsea sold him for around \u20ac42 million, is reportedly open to a Premier League return. The midfielder has adapted well to life in Spain, but the chance to re-establish himself in England could appeal, especially with a club of United\u2019s stature showing interest.<\/p>\n
Manchester United have monitored Gallagher for the last three years and view him as a player who fits the club\u2019s long-term midfield plans. With Casemiro expected to leave Old Trafford at the end of the season, the club\u2019s recruitment team is drawing up a list of potential replacements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
