The hectic transfer window for Chelsea has taken a turn as Atletico Madrid offered the club the chance to re-sign Joao Felix and Samu Omorodion’s deal was abruptly cancelled. Felix has expressed a desire to return to Chelsea, where he spent half of the 2023 season on loan, and a willingness to accept a sizable pay reduction in order to accommodate the club’s wage structure, according to Telegraph Sport.
Felix may potentially sign with Chelsea for less than £40 million in the first place, and the parameters of the deal might be too good to refuse. Conor Gallagher from Chelsea and Julian Alvarez from Manchester City require Atletico to sell players in order to raise the necessary funds.
Joao Felix sends message to Chelsea over surprise transfer
Joao Felix has expressed his desire to make an unexpected comeback to Stamford Bridge to Chelsea. The deal to sign Atletico Madrid forward Samu Omorodion fell through Friday night, which has drastically changed Todd Boehly’s transfer intentions.
The Portugal international has also expressed a desire to return to the Premier League in a permanent move to Atletico Madrid, where he spent half a season on loan in 2023. Felix is thought to be worth around £43 million, but Chelsea could sign him for less than £40 million.
The 24-year-old Felix is apparently prepared to accept a hefty pay decrease in order to accommodate Chelsea’s compensation scale. Conversations about his possible comeback are still going on, according to Fabrizio Romano, with his agent Jorge Mendes still in London.
