Conor Gallagher has finally completed his move from Chelsea to Atletico Madrid.
The transfer was set to go through last week, but was at risk of collapsing after Chelsea's move for Atletico striker Samu Omorodion fell through.The deal was rescued when Chelsea agreed to sign Joao Felix from the Spanish giants for a fee in the region of £45m.
La Liga rules stipulate that teams can only have three non-European Union players in their squads, causing fans to worry about how both Gallagher and Alvarez could be added to Diego Simeone's squad.With neither Nahuel Molina or Samuel Lino holding EU passports, Atletico were left with only one non-EU space to fill.
Since the United Kingdom's decision to leave the EU became effective in 2021, English players like Gallagher would ordinarily count as non-EU players.. With the Republic of Ireland a member of the EU, Gallagher will not occupy a non-EU spot in the squad.It's a trick Real Madrid used when signing England star Jude Bellingham, with the mIdfielder requesting an Irish passport when he completed his move from Borussia Dortmund last summer.
