Chelsea have begun talks with Atletico Madrid regarding the possibility of signing Portugal forward Joao Felix.
The two clubs have been in close contact in recent weeks having agreed separate deals for Conor Gallagher and Samu Omorodion.
The Premier League club’s enquiry for Felix comes after Omorodion’s proposed move to Stamford Bridge collapsed on Sunday evening. Gallagher is still expected to join the Madrid club in the coming days after agreeing to a transfer.
After three frustrating years at Atletico, Felix moved to Chelsea on loan in January 2023 but the Premier League side opted against making a permanent move for the forward last summer.He then spent the entirety of the 2023-24 campaign on loan at Barcelona, scoring 10 goals across 44 first-team appearances.Felix has been capped 41 times by Portugal, scoring eight goals.
