Chelsea Negotiates Deal to Acquire Atletico's Omorodion.

Chelsea are negotiating to sign Spanish forward Samu Omorodion from Atletico Madrid.

Atletico Madrid has agreed to an £81.5m deal to sign Manchester City's Julian Alvarez, and selling Samu Omorodion will help fund this transfer. 

Personal terms with Alvarez are settled, with an initial £64.4m fee and up to £17.1m in add-ons.

In another move, Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher will join Atletico for £33m.

Omorodion, 20, joined Atletico last summer after making his La Liga debut for Granada, where he scored against them. He was loaned to Alaves, scoring eight goals in 35 appearances last season. 

Currently, he’s at the Olympics, where he has scored once in Spain's run to the final.
