Joao Felix’s place
Next year, Chelsea might be able to sign a long-term player after Atletico Madrid’s CEO disclosed Joao Felix’s standing with the team.
In a 6-1 victory over Switzerland to go to the World Cup quarterfinals, Felix led Portugal in scoring. Despite scoring, the 23-year-old still dazzled with his brilliant dribbles around the field.
He had previously been considered by Chelsea, most notably in 2020 when Frank Lampard sought to reform the Blues’ attack, but ever since his £120 million transfer from Benfica to Spain in 2019, he has always been too expensive to leave.
