Feeble £30m offer is to be expected after Chelsea pain themselves into a corner with poor team building decisions | OneFootball

Until Conor Gallagher signs a new contract at Chelsea, the rumours about him leaving are going to continue, and given the very clear interest shown last summer, Tottenham are going to continue being the team we hear about most often in connection with the midfielder.

The latest news comes from TeamTalk, who say that Spurs are getting ready to open the bidding at somewhere between £30m and £40m. That’s a low-ball offer for sure, but that’s what we have to expect given the situation we’ve put ourselves in.

Gallagher has not agreed a new contract, so other teams know his value is set to plummet as he approaches the end of his current deal.

Not only that, but our need to sell players to avoid a penalty from the Premier League or UEFA for breaking spending rules is widely known. We are a motivated seller, and that means we’re unlikely to get the price we deserve for our home grown star.
