The Blues ace joined Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2024, and he had a productive debut campaign with several stand-out performances. However, he has fallen out-of-favour in his second year at the La Liga giants and has been a regular substitute under Diego Simeone in recent months. United were unsuccessful with a loan move for Gallagher before the deadline last summer, but they are reportedly planning a fresh move this winter. Gallagher was not actively pushing for a transfer last summer, but his stance is likely to change at the turn of the year due to his World Cup dream. The midfielder was a regular part of the England squad before losing his starting role at Atletico. He has the chance to redeem himself and earn a late call-up.
It remains to be seen whether Atletico accept a loan proposal from the Red Devils. They may want an option to buy included as part of the deal.
