Per The Telegraph, Ange Postecoglou wanted to add the 24-year-old to his transformed squad this summer.
Now that a move to Atleti appears close to collapse, there may be a suggestion of Spurs going back in.
Chelsea do not want to retain Gallagher, as he is out of contract in a year’s time.
He is refusing to sign a new deal, as they only offered him a 2+1 year agreement.
Atleti were quoted £33.7 million for Gallagher, while Spurs were asked to pay £43 million
