Chelsea attacker Joao Felix has been linked with a move away from the West London club in recent weeks amid interest from Fenerbahce.
Joao Felix has struggled for regular game time at Stamford Bridge, and he has managed just 787 minutes of first-team football with Chelsea. As per a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is keen on signing the player for Fenerbahce, and it will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, a move away from Chelsea in January seems highly unlikely. Chelsea are already lacking in depth in the attacking unit, and letting the Portuguese international move on next month could prove to be a mistake.
The Blues have enjoyed an impressive first half of the 2024/25 season thus far, and they are currently third in the Premier League table. Chelsea will be hoping to launch a title challenge, and they cannot afford to weaken the squad. They should look to bring in quality players during the January transfer window instead.
Felix has not been able to adapt to English football ever since his move to Chelsea, leading to speculation about his future. During his loan spell with the Blues, his performances were rather underwhelming, and the decision to sign him permanently did not make a lot of sense either. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea are prepared to sanction his departure at the end of the season.
Chelsea need an upgrade on Joao Felix
The Blues will need better quality players at their disposal if they want to compete for major trophies in the coming seasons. Felix has not been able to fulfil his tremendous potential, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops. He was regarded as a world-class talent during his time at Benfica, but his development has stalled since then.
The move to Atletico Madrid did not work out for him, and he has not been able to impress in the Premier League either. Chelsea will be hoping to get back to the top of English football once again, and they need quality signings.
The West London outfit should look to get rid of their fringe players in the coming months and bring in quality replacements. A move to Turkey could give the Portuguese international a fresh start, and it will be interesting to see if Fenerbahce are willing to wait around for him until the summer transfer window.
