Joao Felix Transfer News: Will Felix stay at Chelsea?
Joao Felix Transfer News: It has been said that Joao Felix might be a permanent addition to Chelsea. The rumoured asking price, however, has prompted them to look elsewhere. The Sun claims that Chelsea is interested in loaning the Portuguese international for another season.
They’d have to pay £18 million in transfer fees plus the player’s £250,000 weekly salary if they made such a deal. The 23-year-old has the potential to become an important cog for Chelsea in the next campaign. As a newcomer to the Premier League, Felix is still finding his footing, but he has shown flashes of his talent.
At the conclusion of the season, the Blues will likely choose a new manager, with Mauricio Pochettino, the current manager of Tottenham Hotspur, the odds-on favourite to take over at Stamford Bridge. The 51-year-old Argentine manager was successful at helping young players develop during his time at Tottenham, and he may be able to do the same with Felix.
The Atletico Madrid forward is more than simply a goalscorer and may be a valuable addition to Chelsea next season due to his all-around footballing abilities. The Portuguese national team member is adaptable enough to play any of the forward positions. As a result, it comes as no surprise that Chelsea would want to retain him at Stamford Bridge.
Joao Felix Transfer News: The Portuguese international Joao Felix, who was loaned to Chelsea by Atletico Madrid in January, has performed well thus far
The decision to send Felix out on loan came after he had dropped in the pecking order at Atletico Madrid. It would be a bad move for him to go back to the Spanish club. The player is unlikely to get significant playing time next season in Spain, so manager Diego Simeone wants to sell him permanently.
The wisest choice for the 23-year-old striker seems to be staying at Chelsea. Despite being benched for the previous three games by interim boss Frank Lampard, the £250,000-a-week striker seems content in London.
Overall, Felix has done a fantastic job. He has the potential to be a game-changing player for Chelsea if he can refine his decision-making in the penalty area. When he joined Atletico Madrid at the age of 23, the young player was already being heralded as a potential superstar. It would be fascinating to watch whether Mauricio Pochettino can help him find himself and realize his enormous potential if a transfer is finalized.
