Joao Felix is back on Chelsea’s radar as part of a sensational transfer twist at Atletico Madrid.
The Portuguese international has returned to preseason action in Madrid in recent weeks after a loan spell at Barcelona.
Felix openly stated his desire to head back to Barcelona, but La Blaugrana rejected a permanent deal, and Atletico Madrid opted against a loan renewal.
Premier League rivals Aston Villa are the current favourites to bring him to England with the Villans preparing a final transfer offer.
However, as per reports from transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, a number of moving pieces have now impacted multiple deals.
BREAKING NEWS: Joao Felix could head back to Chelsea as part of the Conor Gallagher to Atletico Madrid deal with funds also needed for Julian Alvarez as Samu Omorodion deal collapses
— Football España (@footballespana_) August 11, 2024
Deals for Gallagher and Alvarez are expected to cost Atletico Madrid in excess of €130m combined and a restructuring is now needed.
Felix could now be included in the Gallagher move, to reduce the overall fee, or potentially mould into a player swap, with money held back for Alvarez.
