Per Fabrizio Romano, the two clubs had agreed a record-breaking deal for the attacking midfielder.
However, he chose to wait for a better offer, which may have come in the form of Atletico Madrid.
Romano said on X: “The new contract proposed by Chelsea twice and rejected by Conor Gallagher was valid for two years plus option for further season.
“Chelsea agreed on deal with Aston Villa for Gallagher in June, club-record for Villa... Conor said no. Now, he has to decide on Atléti move.”
