Chelsea has reached an agreement with Atletico Madrid to secure the signing of Joao Felix. It appears that the Atletico Madrid player is on the verge of finalizing a permanent transfer to Chelsea, after spending a portion of the 2022-23 season on loan at the club. While at Chelsea, Felix managed to net four goals in 20 games. The forward, who was signed by Atletico for a record-breaking fee of over £110 million in 2019, wasted no time in expressing his eagerness to return to Stamford Bridge. With this deal, there is new hope that Conor Gallagher will finally sign for Atletico Madrid.
Chelsea Set To Sign Joao Felix From Atletico Madrid
Joao Felix’s transfer to Chelsea is now finalized. Reports suggest that the Blues are prepared to pay approximately £36 million to secure the services of the Portuguese international. The player, who had a loan spell at Stamford Bridge during the 2022-23 season, is expected to join the club permanently. The ex-Benfica striker spent last season on loan at Barcelona after losing the support of Atleti manager Diego Simeone. He has now reached an agreement on personal terms with Chelsea. According to The Athletic, Felix is set to sign a six-year contract, with the possibility of extending it for a seventh year.
As it stands, Felix will become the ninth summer signing for Chelsea. This deal has raised concerns about the future of Raheem Sterling, who was notably excluded from Enzo Maresca’s squad for the Premier League season opener on Sunday. Chelsea suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of reigning champions Manchester City.
How Does This Affect Conor Gallagher’s Transfer?
With the 24-year-old’s comeback to west London, it seems that Chelsea and England midfielder Conor Gallagher may have a chance to sign for Atletico. Now the transfer can be completed after already agreeing personal terms on his transfer to the Spanish capital. Chelsea had originally set their sights on signing Atletico striker Samu Omorodion. Later, they ultimately decided against proceeding with the £38million deal. Gallagher found himself in a state of uncertainty, despite having made the journey to Spain and taken pictures at the Metropolitano Stadium. After spending five days in the Spanish capital, the English midfielder finally returned to London to join the Blues’ pre-season preparations.
In the past few days, there were strong indications that Chelsea and Atletico are nearing an agreement for the transfer of Joao Felix. Now that the deal is finalized, Gallagher is set to join Atletico Madrid. The English Midfielder already agreed personal terms with Atletico Madrid a few weeks ago.
