The Blues are eager to sell Gallagher to make a profit for Premier League PSR purposes.
Per The Telegraph, Gallagher and Simeone had a conversation before he went back to London.
His move to Atleti appeared to be nearly done, but was halted when Chelsea backed out of buying an Atleti player.
Now the two clubs must resurrect the deal, or Gallagher will have to spend the coming season at Stamford Bridge.
