BREAKING NEWS:Chelsea wants 28-years-old Brazilian star to replace Conor Gallagher

There’s speculation that Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher, who has been rumored to leave Stamford Bridge this summer, might have a successor lined up according to a surprising source.

Gallagher’s future at Chelsea remains uncertain, with most updates indicating that a decision would come after the Euros. With the tournament now over, clarity on the England international’s situation is expected soon.

Reports suggest that Chelsea is planning to find a replacement if Gallagher is sold. What’s surprising is not just the plan to replace him but the rumored candidate for his replacement.

According to Globo in Brazil, Chelsea has identified Andreas Pereira as the ideal replacement for Gallagher and is willing to pay £30-35 million for him.

Chelsea has reportedly expressed their interest to Pereira’s agent, Kia Joorabchian, and are inquiring about the conditions for a potential transfer.

It’s claimed that new head coach Enzo Maresca has given his approval for this move. While this could turn out to be true, it seems like agent-driven speculation aimed at securing a transfer for Pereira.

The skepticism arises from Chelsea’s recent acquisition of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, which already adds to their midfield options. Chelsea’s midfield is quite crowded, and unless there are plans to sell another player like Carney Chukwuemeka, adding Pereira doesn’t seem necessary.

Moreover, questions arise about Pereira’s suitability and quality. The former Manchester United player, now 28, does not fit Chelsea’s recent trend of recruiting younger talents.

His age profile and past performances do not make him an obvious choice for Chelsea, making this rumor appear even more dubious.

In essence, while the notion of replacing Gallagher is not outlandish, the idea of Andreas Pereira being that replacement seems far-fetched.

Chelsea’s existing midfield depth and recruitment strategy do not align with such a move, suggesting this might just be a piece of speculative news generated by agents.
