Samu Omorodion leaves Atlético to sign a permanent contract with FC Porto
One of the summer's biggest transfer flops was Chelsea's attempt to sign Samu Omorodion as a condition of Conor Gallagher's transfer to Atletico Madrid.
Chelsea's effort to acquire Samu Omorodion as part of the agreement to move Conor Gallagher to Atletico Madrid was one of the summer's transfer disasters.
Gallagher was forced to return to West London and hope that the Blues could salvage any deal that would have let him to go due to an eleventh-hour collapse, even though he had already been to Spain.
Thankfully, an agreement with Joao Felix returning to Stamford Bridge was reached, but Omorodion was briefly left without a football team. Andre Villas Boas, the current president of Porto and former manager of Chelsea, steps in to save the day.
Omorodion's contract with the Dragons expires in 2029, and it includes a €100 million release clause.
The last week has seen the adoring Atleti public finally meet Gallagher, so it appears that the long-running tale has a happy finish for everyone involved. Omorodion, who is only 20 years old, has already established a reputation for himself as a striker.
