João Félix close to signing for Chelsea!

Tired of his situation at Atlético Madrid under the orders of Diego Simeone, João Félix should leave the Colchoneros this winter. According to brand, the Portuguese striker would be close to joining Chelsea.

The Spanish newspaper specifies that the London club should offer the services of the former Lisbon as part of a paying loan of 11 million euros without an option to buy. However, the Madrid club would like to extend their player first before seeing him leave for the Premier League. The Colchoneros want to extend his lease for one year, until June 2027, in order to reduce the annual amortization of his salary to balance the club's accounts.

If this departure were to be made official, it would be quite a snub both for Atlético, who had no hesitation in spending more than €127m in the summer of 2019 to recruit the right-hander, and for João Félix, whose record in the Spanish capital will remain more than mixed (34 goals and 18 offerings in 131 matches). This season, João Félix has scored 3 goals in 14 games in league.
