Chelsea look to cash in on star player after accepting a bid from Atletico Madrid for Conor Gallagher.
Gallagher has been a top target for European clubs in this transfer window, after rejecting a new contract from Chelsea.
The midfielder's future at Stamford Bridge is uncertain, as he just has one year left on his current contract.
Atletico Madrid have now swooped in to get a deal for the England international with the Blues.

Nico Williams' decision to snub a move to Barcelona has opened the door for Premier League giants Chelsea to swoop in.
Atletico Madrid bid accepted
According to the Sun, Chelsea and Atletico Madrid have agreed on a deal for the transfer of Gallagher.
The Blues are waiting for Gallagher to decide what to do with his career, with Atletico prepared to pay approximately £34 million to sign him.
Earlier this summer, Aston Villa attempted to sign him; Tottenham and West Ham were among others previously linked.
However, his most likely destination is Spain as Atletico Madrid looks to add more midfield firepower to their squad.
Gallagher’s sale to the Spanish giants would help Chelsea balance their books and free up space in the team.
The departure of Gallagher will open space for the likes of Romeo Lavia, new signing Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and other midfielders in the team.
Gallagher made 95 appearances, scoring ten goals, after claiming a regular spot under Mauricio Pochettino last season.
