Joao Felix’s return to Stamford Bridge is being discussed by Chelsea in connection with Conor Gallagher’s possible transfer to Atletico Madrid.
Portuguese signed a 2023 loan with Blues Rubiblancos, who want to let him go once again.
Might go the other way from the England star
During his brief loan stint with the Blues in the 2022–2023 season, Felix, a Portugal international, made 20 appearances and scored four goals. The 24-year-old stated emphatically that Barcelona was his “dream” team during his time there last season.
Felix may make a return trip to England this summer as Atletico is reported to be eager to cash in on him. This is due to the fact that the Rojiblancos want a countermove to their attempt to acquire Chelsea midfielder Gallagher. João Félix has already accepted a return to Chelsea. Yesterday, Jorge Mendes, his agent, was notified. As was disclosed yesterday night, Chelsea is currently in charge of the ongoing negotiations between Atlético and Chelsea. Also, this is important for the Conor Gallagher contract.
Samu Omorodion was meant to be the guy to check that box, having just won gold at the Olympics with Spain. Relevo claims that he has not passed the medical examinations in west London, which has forced him to return to the Spanish capital as the €40 million (£34 million/$44 million) agreement that would have paid for Gallagher’s acquisition falls through.
Felix is back on the table, according to Fabrizio Romano, who is trying to salvage that deal. It is rumored that he spoke with his agent, Jorge Mendes, in London. Atletico may go on with their efforts to get Gallagher on board with Manchester City’s World Cup-winning striker Julian Alvarez if the Portuguese forward decides to return to Chelsea.
