After a long period of negotiations, London “Chelsea” reached a verbal agreement on the summer loan of Joao Felix from “Atletico”. Although Manchester United and Arsenal also wanted him, the Portuguese is attracted to the draft of Graham Potter’s team.
Atletico Madrid loan Joao Felix from Chelsea.
Although a deal is yet to be signed, Chelsea will pay around €11 million for the forward’s loan move, which Transfermarkt values at €50 million, an offer lower than the Spaniards initially wanted, according to the Daily Mail.
England have scored just three goals in their last eight games in all competitions and manager Graham Potter’s main aim this winter is to strengthen the attack.
So far, Chelsea have secured the services of Benoit Badiachile, transferred for 38 million euros from Monaco, David Datro Fofan and Andriy Santos.
Stamford Bridge are also pushing for world champion Enzo Fernandes, but Lisbon’s Benfica have rejected a €100m bid.
In 2019, Atletico paid Benfica €127 million for Joao Felix, the fourth most expensive transfer in football history.
Now “Chelsea” is negotiating the loan of Joao Felix from “Atletico” Madrid until June. The deal is in the final stages — the option to buy is not being discussed. uD83DuDEA8uD83DuDD35 #CFC
