Joao Félix, loaned to Chelsea without an option to buy for 11 million euros this winter, could be transferred definitively to the English club during the next summer transfer window.
Although unhappy under the orders of Diego Simeone at Atlético Madrid, the 23-year-old Portuguese international player had nevertheless extended his contract with the Spanish club until 2027 before changing scenery and joining Chelsea on loan in January. But João Félix’s future is uncertain as Chelsea do not have a purchase option and will therefore have to negotiate with Atlético Madrid if they want to recruit him definitively during the summer.
According The SER Chain, Chelsea would be ready to offer 80 million euros to Atlético Madrid to recruit João Félix definitively this summer. However, Atlético Madrid, who paid 127 million euros to sign the player in 2019, have not yet made a decision on a possible sale. João Félix recently expressed his well-being at Chelsea, but also left the door open for a return to Atlético Madrid. However, if Diego Simeone remains Atlético manager, it will be difficult for João Félix to regain his place in the team.
