Inter are keeping tabs on Conor Gallagher’s situation at Atletico Madrid, sources have told us, as the Nerazzurri consider future midfield reinforcements in light of potential outgoings.<\/p>\n
Gallagher joined Atletico just last summer, but with Johnny Cardoso and Alex Baena arriving in recent weeks, the Spanish club appears open to letting the English midfielder leave \u2013 just a year after signing him for around \u00a340 million.<\/p>\n
Although Inter are not short on midfield talent, with Hakan Calhanoglu, Nicolo Barella, and Davide Frattesi all under contract, the club could be tempted to make a move depending on the market, particularly if Kristjan Asllani leaves.<\/p>\n
Gallagher made a positive impression during his first season in Spain. He featured in 50 games across all competitions, starting 19 times in La Liga.<\/p>\n
While his role shifted between central midfield and wide left, his energy, movement, and ball-carrying remained consistent.<\/p>\n
Internally, Atletico are said to be happy with Gallagher, but the recent signings of Cardoso and Baena have reshaped their midfield plans. The England international\u00a0may now be seen as surplus to requirements given the options available to Diego Simeone.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Gallagher occupies a non-EU registration slot, which can often play a bigger role in Spanish football’s squad decisions than performance metrics alone.<\/p>\n
Gallagher isn\u2019t the only Atletico player being sought after by a Serie A club this summer \u2013 Juventus are also targeting right-back Nahuel Molina as part of their push to strengthen the flanks, even after sealing a deal for Joao Mario.<\/p>\n
Gallagher has already attracted interest from the Premier League, with Tottenham and Newcastle United both weighing up potential bids.<\/p>\n
Tottenham has long admired the player, and Thomas Frank is reportedly an admirer of Gallagher\u2019s work rate and tactical versatility.<\/p>\n
Inter, meanwhile, are yet to register formal interest, but their recruitment team is monitoring the situation.<\/p>\n
With Atletico open to offers and Gallagher\u2019s contract running until 2029, any potential suitor is likely to be quoted a similar fee to last summer\u2019s \u00a340m move from Chelsea.<\/p>\n
Gallagher\u2019s La Liga numbers don\u2019t show any major decline. His defensive output was marginally lower compared to his Chelsea days, but that\u2019s mostly attributed to his different role under Simeone.<\/p>\n
In fact, according to StatsBomb, he showed slight upticks in dribbling, carrying, and off-ball value (OBV) \u2013 indicators that he\u2019s adapted well to a less pressing-intensive system.<\/p>\n
Inter’s interest is exploratory at this stage, but it may grow stronger if Kristjan Asllani is sold.<\/p>\n
The Albanian international has reportedly drawn interest from Serie A and Bundesliga clubs, and an exit would open space both in the squad and on the wage bill.<\/p>\n
Gallagher doesn\u2019t profile as a like-for-like Asllani replacement \u2013 he\u2019s more of a box-to-box presence, closer to Barella in style than a deep-lying regista.<\/p>\n
But Inter\u2019s recruitment in recent years has shown a willingness to focus on versatility and internal rotation rather than rigid roles.<\/p>\n
Ultimately, though, Gallagher remains happy in Madrid and isn\u2019t actively seeking a transfer \u2014 but that could change if it becomes clear he\u2019s no longer in Simeone\u2019s plans.<\/p>\n
At 25 years old, the England midfielder is entering his prime and will want to secure regular starts, especially with the World Cup on the horizon.<\/p>\n
Inter, for their part, have no urgent need to buy \u2014 but like any top club, they are opportunistic in the market.<\/p>\n
With Premier League clubs circling and Atletico looking to rebalance their squad, this could become one of the more intriguing midfield transfer stories of the summer.<\/p>\n
