"I want to move to Chelsea." —£120M star tells club he wants to move to Chelsea with the Blues keen on potential deal for him.
The £120M rated star wants Chelsea move with the Blues keen on signing him.
Per reports, Joao Felix has told Atletico Madrid he wants to remain at Chelsea and does not want to return when his loan deal expires this summer.
Joao Felix had failed to adapt to Diego Simeone's playing style at the Atleti and had opted for a fresh challenge in a move that had seen him leave for Chelsea on a loan-move.
Portuguese outlet Relevo has revealed that Chelsea could have an opportunity to keep Felix at the Bridge and extend his contract because a return to Los Rojiblancos looks highly unlikely at this time.
Now, per Portuguese journalist Pedro Almeida – the Portuguese star has told Madrid that he has no intention of making a move back at the end of the season.
Joao Felix has recently claimed he is happy at Chelsea per reports, which might mean he is not keen on a move away from the Bridge soon. Speaking ahead of Portugal's clash vs Liechtenstein, Felix had said of Chelsea:
"Now I am just focused on tomorrow’s game. After that, we don’t know what will happen.
‘But I am happy here. The club is so big, is amazing, everyone behind the club is so good, so yes I am happy to be here.’
Playing Champions League football is one thing Felix is keen on, and with Chelsea in the quarter-finals of the competition, the Chelsea attacker who wants to win the European title may want to do so by extending his stay at the Club. He had said ahead of Chelsea's game vs Borussia Dortmund in the second leg of the R16:
"Playing Champions League is always different. It is the competition that everyone wants to play,’ he added.
‘But now I am focused on this Champions League, tomorrow’s game. We have a lot of games yet to try to reach the Champions League in the league. It is not over."
"Playing Champions League, it is [an] important decision. But the future, no one knows so let’s see what happens.’
Per reports, Chelsea are also working on a deal to sign Felix on a permanent deal from Atletico Madrid. The reports suggest he is valued to be £120M and talks have begun between both clubs.
