Crucially, the €40 million transfer of Conor Gallagher from Chelsea to Atletico is directly linked to the Felix deal. If the two clubs cannot finalize the Felix transfer, Atletico may need to explore other options for midfield reinforcements.



One such option that has emerged is Ngolo Kante. Atletico Madrid has reportedly contacted Kante’s brother to gauge his interest in a move to the Spanish capital. However, Barcelona has also been linked with the French midfielder, adding another potential suitor to the mix.

Al-Ittihad and Saudi Arabia have made it clear that N’Golo Kante is not for sale, despite interest from Atletico Madrid. Additionally, Diario AS reports that West Ham United, managed by Julen Lopetegui, was also interested in Kante, but his contract extends until 2026, making a move without his club’s blessing highly unlikely.

As the negotiations for Conor Gallagher’s transfer to Atletico Madrid continue to stall, the Spanish club may need to explore other options for midfield reinforcements.

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has ruled out signing another midfielder this summer, indicating a reliance on the club’s young talents to fill the void in their midfield.
