The return of Joao Felix to Chelsea, where he spent six months in the 2022/23 season, is one of the hottest deals of these days. Atlético is trying to close the crucial sale of the Portuguese, who is out of Diego Simeone’s project, and help to facilitate it comes from Italy.
Raheem Sterling could make room for the Atlético Madrid thanks to Juventus, who need to strengthen their attack and are thinking about the Englishman, who was their target in previous seasons.
The arrival of Pedro Neto, who cost 60 million euros, forces the Blues to give the winger an exit, for whom the Vecchia Signora has already taken information in the last few hours. He is not the only profile on the list of sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli, who has Nico Gonzalez tied down (Fiorentina will release him once his replacement, Gudmundsson from Genoa, is agreed).
In addition to the Argentine, the Bianconeri want a second reinforcement up front and Sterling is one of the alternatives along with Sancho, Berardi and Francisco Conceiçao. The Italians, however, need help from Chelsea to secure the services of the Englishman.

Sterling, at 29, still has a long contract with Chelsea (it expires in 2027). Last season he only started 22 Premier League games (where he scored eight goals and provided four assists), and everything points to the fact that this season there will be even less space.
