A real coup. Joao Felix and Jorge Mendes have travelled to London to negotiate their possible signing for ChelseaAtlético de Madrid and the Stamford Bridge club are still working on the Gallagher deal and the Portuguese international could be part of it in the final stages.
The information provided by Fabrizio Romano insists that Atlético de Madrid’s intention is to complete the many open fronts it has following the signing of Gallagher and Julián Ruiz.
In the last few hours, Chelsea’s unexpected backtracking on the signing of Samu Omorodion has exposed an Atlético that was counting on this transfer to square the numbers for the arrival of Gallagher and Julián Álvarez.
Despite the unexpected setback caused by Samu Omorodion, sources at Atletico assured that they were calm and had other resources to complete the operations necessary to accommodate the operations underway.
Without a doubt, the valuation of Joao Felix would allow the economic circle to be completed. It should be remembered that the Portuguese footballer already played for Chelsea after arriving in the winter transfer market of the 2022-23 season. They were intense months in which the Portuguese alternated good performances with several games in which he went unnoticed. The Londoners opted for the return of Joao Felix and not fight for a transfer.
Barça, waiting
Joao Felix is not a priority for Barça in this summer transfer window. However, Laporta and Deco have always left the door open for the Portuguese in the event that he is willing to leave Atlético Madrid at the end of August for a reasonable price and the Catalan club has not been able to shore up its left flank.
The Portuguese has been on the market for some time now, while Barça are still fighting to sign Nico Williams for the left-footed winger. Two avenues that are increasingly distancing Joao Félix from the Blaugrana club.
