The young Spanish striker will not be headed to Stamford Bridge in a hiccup that could have huge ramifications on two other transfers.

Chelsea's deal for promising Spanish striker Samu Omorodion has collapsed, an outcome that could have grave consequences for two other players: Conor Gallagher and Julian Alvarez.

The London giants were set to sign the 20-year-old Atletico Madrid forward for £35M, with the Olympic gold medalist having already agreed to a seven-year Stamford Bridge deal.

However, that fell through at the last hurdle. The reason behind this remains unclear, with some initially pointing to an issue in the player's medical. 

On the other hand, El Chiringuito claims Chelsea tried to buy 50 percent of the player, a move which angered the striker as he saw this as a lack of respect. Meanwhile, the Athletic reports that things fell apart over a "major problem in finalizing the contract".

As a result, two other deals are now at risk of collapsing. They are Conor Gallagher's and Julian Alvarez's move to Atletico Madrid from Chelsea and Manchester City, respectively.

The Spanish giants agreed a £36M deal for the English midfielder and a £82M arrangement for the Argentine striker. However, Atletico Madrid are keen on selling a player to finance those outlays.

With Omorodion's Stamford Bridge switch collapsing, the two clubs are exploring another deal, with Joao Felix being offered to the London giants. The reason is simple: Simeone's side want to get the Gallagher and Alvarez deals over the line while the Premier League giants are desperate to sell Conor.

The Portuguese attacker is keen on a Stamford Bridge return, having spent six months on loan in west London in the 2022-23 season. The former Benfica ace is even open to taking a pay cut to facilitate this.

Boehly and Co. are admirers of Felix and wish to secure him on a permanent deal. This would bolster their attack and relieve their financial woes as Conor Gallagher's sale would go through.

If completed, Raheem Sterling or Noni Madueke could leave Chelsea to balance the books, with the latter garnering interest from Newcastle.
