In a significant transfer move, Chelsea has agreed to sign Atletico Madrid’s 20-year-old striker Samu Omorodion for £35 million plus add-ons.
The deal, which includes Conor Gallagher moving to Atletico, marks a major coup for the Blues.
According to sources, Omorodion is set to sign a seven-year contract at Stamford Bridge, solidifying Chelsea’s attacking lineup. The transfer negotiations gained momentum this week, with Chelsea ultimately reaching an agreement with Atletico.
Initially, Atletico was hesitant to sanction Omorodion’s sale without securing a replacement. However, with the impending transfer of Manchester City’s Julian Alvarez to Atletico, the move is now expected to proceed smoothly.
The signing of Omorodion represents a significant investment in Chelsea’s future, with the young striker poised to make a substantial impact at Stamford Bridge. The transfer is a testament to Chelsea’s commitment to attracting top talent and bolstering their squad for the upcoming season.
