The London Club have reportedly reached an agreement with La Liga side, Atletico Madrid as they look to re-sign the Portuguese international. According to reports from the Athletic, the decision to sign Felix came as a result of Samu Omorodion’s proposed move to Stamford Bridge appeared to collapse due to problems finalising the Spaniard’s contract.
Joao Felix previously spent the second half of the 2022-23 season on loan at Chelsea, scoring four goals in 20 appearances for the Premier League club. The 24-year-old then spent last season (2023/24) on loan at Barcelona, which saw him score 10 goals and six assists in 44 games.
