In December 2022 Chelsea showed interest in signing Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix on loan in January.
The Blues were out to reinforcing their attacking unit.
Chelsea have reached a verbal agreement to sign Joao Felix on loan from Atletico Madrid.
According to The Athletic, it is expected that Chelsea will pay a loan fee of £9.68million (€11million), which is below what Atletico initially wanted.
Felix has been linked with Manchester United and Arsenal but Chelsea’s project is appealing to him.
The 23-year-old has struggled for consistency at Atletico this season – he has scored four goals and provided three assists in 14 La Liga appearances.
In 2019 Felix joined Atletico from Benfica for £113million, which remains the fourth-highest transfer fee in football history.
