The Chelsea star is reportedly a player that Spurs really admire, but, this deal isn’t proving to be easy to do.Conor Gallagher continues to be linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur.
Indeed, there have been reports that Chelsea are looking for big money for Gallagher, but according to Ben Jacobs, speaking on The Done Deal Show, this transfer could be done for a fairly reasonable fee. Jacobs says that a bid of an initial £45m plus add-ons could turn Chelsea’s head.
£48m could secure Gallagher
“On deadline day, Tottenham attempted to get Gallagher, but Chelsea wanted £10 million more, and now I believe they want £15–20 million more. The deal was only worth a maximum of £35 million. I’ve been informed that a bid with a £45 million guarantee with bonuses would catch Chelsea’s attention, depending on its arrangement.
Still expensive
For a player of Gallagher’s caliber and age, £45 million doesn’t seem like a horrible deal, but we could understand if Spurs were hesitant to spend this much money.
As Gallagher approaches the last 18 months of his deal, you often receive a respectable discount on any prospective move.
Gallagher isn’t exactly available for a steal in this situation, either, and if Spurs decide to wait it out, the asking price probably won’t rise much higher.
Although paying £45 million for a 23-year-old England international is never a bad deal, it’s also not the best deal of the century, so Spurs may want to consider all the advantages and disadvantages of completing this transfer at this particular moment.Tottenham could be better off waiting to see whether they make a move for Gallagher, but that is yet to be determined.
