Chelsea remain keen on signing Joao Felix from Atletico Madrid before the summer transfer window shuts down.
Chelsea are currently locked in talks with Atletico Madrid regarding a move for 24-year-old Portuguese international Joao Felix. And a report from HITC has claimed that the two clubs are optimistic about agreeing on the transfer in the coming weeks.
Felix has been linked with a permanent exit from Atletico Madrid, and a move to Chelsea could be an exciting option for him. He will look to play regularly and focus on his football after sorting out his long-term future now. The player was on loan at Barcelona last season, and he scored 10 goals in all competitions. He picked up six assists along the way as well.
Joao Felix would be a useful addition
The Portuguese international is capable of operating in a number of attacking roles, and he could be a useful acquisition for Chelsea in the attack. The 24-year-old will certainly support Cole Palmer with goals and creativity. Chelsea need to improve in that department if they want to challenge for trophies next season.
They will be desperate to get back into the UEFA Champions League as well. A club of their stature cannot afford to miss out on European football season after season. Chelsea have spent substantial amounts of money on new signings since the takeover. But they h,ave not been able to deliver on the pitch.
New manager Enzo Maresca will be under pressure to turn things around this season and signing the right players will certainly make his job easier. Felix has played for Chelsea in the past, and he will look to hit the ground running in the Premier League. A move to Chelsea will give him exposure in the Premier League and continuity.
The player will look to regain his confidence and sharpness in the coming years. He was regarded as a world talent a few years ago, and there is no doubt that he has the time and the potential to get back to that level. If Chelsea can sign him for a reasonable price, the deal would look like a masterstroke.
