Joao Felix has agreed personal terms with Chelsea, as the club and Atletico Madrid near a deal involving the forward and Conor Gallagher.
Felix spent a half-season on loan at Chelsea in 2023 and may soon be returning to West London on a permanent basis.
Meanwhile, Conor Gallagher who was initially set to move to Atletico saw the transfer halted when Chelsea’s attempt to sign Samu Omorodion from the Spanish club fell through.
Gallagher has returned to London and is training with Chelsea’s Under-21s while his future is decided.
Talks between Chelsea and Atletico are expected to continue over the weekend to resolve the situation.
Atletico needs to raise funds to finalize the Gallagher deal, and Felix’s departure is key to this.
Though Chelsea has not yet agreed on a fee for the Portuguese international, reports suggest that Atletico’s demand for €60 million (£51m) is inaccurate.
Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca refrained from discussing the ongoing transfer talks in a recent press conference.
He emphasized it would not be appropriate to speak about players who are not yet Chelsea’s property.
Gallagher’s situation keeps him out of contention for Chelsea’s opening game of the season against Manchester City.
Training with the under-21s alongside Trevoh Chalobah and Romelu Lukaku, Gallagher will not be available for selection.
