Chelsea are on the verge of finalising a deal to bring João Félix back to Stamford Bridge, according to Fabrizio Romano. Negotiations with Atlético Madrid have reached the final stages, with only minor details left to be ironed out.
Verbal Agreement in Place
A verbal agreement has been nearly completed between Chelsea and Atlético Madrid. The final aspects of the deal’s structure are currently being finalised. Félix has already agreed to personal terms with Chelsea, expressing a strong desire to return to the club.
Background
João Félix, a 24-year-old forward, has previously played for Chelsea on loan. His style of play is characterised by his agility, technical skills, and ability to operate both as a winger and a central forward. Félix has also had a stint at Barcelona, where he expressed a desire to stay beyond his loan period earlier this year.
Recent Developments
The latest developments follow a series of reports over the past week indicating Félix’s interest in returning to Chelsea. On 12 August, it was reported that Félix had agreed to a return, and talks between Chelsea and Atlético Madrid were ongoing. This follows his earlier statements in April expressing a wish to remain at Barcelona.
The deal is expected to be sealed soon, marking a significant move in the summer transfer window.
