Joao Felix Transfer News: Joao Felix reportedly impressed enough on his loan with Chelsea for the Blues to consider signing him permanently for the next season.
Although he has only scored twice in ten games since joining Chelsea on loan from Atletico Madrid in January, Felix has proven to be one of the Blues’ most impactful players in the final third because of his elite-level skill on the ball.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Blues have every intention of keeping Felix, who has been called “silky” by certain fans, and the decision will come down to the new coach and the price tag in the summer.
It will be a major choice for the Stamford Bridge brass to decide whether or not to retain the 23-year-old since Premier League rivals Arsenal and Manchester United were also interested in him before Chelsea bought him.
It will be fascinating to see whether Felix is still donning a blue jersey come September 1st, given he has already declared his wish to stay at Chelsea.
Joao Felix Transfer News: Is Chelsea Signing Felix Permanently?
Despite becoming one of the club’s most dangerous outlets in the second part of the season, Felix has only scored twice since his move to West London. Despite interest from Arsenal, the Portuguese player ended up signing a new deal with Atletico Madrid.
Despite making a long-term commitment to the La Liga club, he may not end up staying in the Spanish city. According to football.london’s sources, the likelihood of Atleti selling the 23-year-old in the future prompted them to want to lock down a long-term contract.
Although Chelsea is still on the hunt for a new manager for the next season, recent reports indicate that the club is eager to retain Felix through the summer. Fabrizio Romano claims that the club’s upper management is “very happy” with Felix’s influence and that the Portugal international is interested in staying.
Felix has already spoken about staying in England, where he has become a fan favourite at Stamford Bridge. In March, he commented, “If I want to stay or not, the future nobody knows.”
