Atletico Madrid star Joao Felix, who spent the last season on loan at Chelsea, has been poised to make a permanent move to Stamford Bridge in this summer window. The 24-year-old has fallen out of favour with Diego Simeone and faces an uncertain future with the Spanish giants.

A move to Chelsea would be an exciting opportunity for the Portuguese international, who seeks to play regular football at the highest level. Felix could be a useful acquisition for Enzo Maresca this season.

🚨🔵 Understand Chelsea and Atlético are getting closer to final agreement for João Félix and Conor Gallagher!

Positive round of talks today, João says yes to contract terms. Rumours on €60m fixed fee for Félix are not true.
