Chelsea is getting closer to securing the signing of Joao Felix from Atletico Madrid as part of their transfer negotiations. Journalist Ben Jacobs claims that Chelsea has made an offer of €45 million for the attacker, who plays for Portugal, while Atletico Madrid is negotiating for a price closer to €50 million. It is unclear if the two teams will be able to close the transaction despite their current efforts to reach a consensus.
This summer, he will prioritise his football career while trying to figure out his long-term destiny. Atletico Madrid is not where he belongs, and Felix will want to leave the team forever. Chelsea is in severe need of offensive reinforcements, and the adaptable player would be the perfect addition.

The two teams’ deal is now “close to its conclusion,” according to La Liga insider Moretto. We are almost to the end of the Joao Felix-Conor Gallagher scandal. For Fabrizio Romano’s Daily Briefing, Moretto stated, “After an extremely cold and tense first phase, Atletico Madrid and Chelsea have resumed concrete conversations on the matter.”
“The English football player himself wants to continue his career in Madrid, but Atletico truly wants Gallagher through the door. After speaking with manager Diego Simeone, he expressed excitement for his next journey. Conversely, Felix has accepted a job offer from Chelsea and will take a pay cut in order to re-join the Premier League in England. The arrangement between the two clubs, which consists of a fixed fee and extras, is being outlined.
