Atletico's hopes are tempered as neither Alvarez nor Gallagher are closed

The Rojiblancos fans were brimming with excitement in the last few hours. The reason was none other than Atletico Madrid's transfer window, which was looking very favourable for the Colchoneros in the coming days.

Undoubtedly, the name that caused the most furore was that of Julian Alvarez, for whom it was believed that an agreement had been reached with Manchester City. However, in the last few hours, Matteo Moretto pointed out in 'Relevo' that the signing of the Argentinian had not yet been given the green light.

According to this information, it is all due to a series of problems in the Argentine striker's contract, more specifically in the amounts of his wages. However, it is only a slight setback and an agreement is expected to be reached as soon as possible, although the speed of negotiation has slowed down.

At the same time, the move for Conor Gallagher and Samu Omorodion has also been put on hold. Despite having reached an agreement with Chelsea for the England international, for a fee in the region of 40 million euros, this operation is also on hold due to a contractual issue.

Therefore, if the Englishman does not arrive at Atleti and the signing of Julian Alvarez is not finalised, Samu Omorodion will not move from the Metropolitano. A domino effect where all the pieces have to move to finalise all the deals.

There is a tense calm in the offices of Atletico Madrid, where everything is expected to come to a successful end in the coming hours, but where the absolute priority is to meet the demands of the World Cup winner with Argentina in his contract, a point that would unlock all other deals.
