David Onstein, a journalist with the global sports media The Athletic and the highest public confidence, reported on the 12th (Korea time) that Omorodion's transfer from Atletico Madrid to Chelsea broke down. Onstein said the reason for the collapse was that `all transfers were canceled due to problems with personal agreements in the finalization of the contract.'
Atletico prospect Omorodion is one of the supernovae that has received hot attention this summer. I was interested in him because he was considered to have tremendous physicality, dribbling, and shooting. The Granada native has been consistently recognised for his potential since joining Atletico and last season showed promise with nine goals in 36 games for Deportivo Alaves. Chelsea, who confirmed his chances, approached Omorodion.
Both Chelsea, who wanted to reinforce the front line, and Atletico, who needed profits from the transfer fee, were active in the Omorodion transaction. Atletico, who wanted to bring in Julián Álvarez and Conor Gallagher this summer to reinforce their power, planned to sell Omorodion to Chelsea and earn a huge transfer fee. The negotiations seemed to proceed without problems, with Álvarez giving the green light to Atletico's transfer.

The Athletic said 'Chelsea has begun negotiations with Atletico over the possibility of signing Felix' The two clubs remained close, agreeing to transfer Gallagher and Omorodion. Chelsea's inquiry about Felix comes after O'Morodion's transfer fell through, he said.
Spain's Coffe is 'Atletico is waiting for Gallagher to be completed. Chelsea will not bet 40 million euros (about 60 billion won) on Felix, and Gallagher may have to return to London. However, the recruitment of Álvarez will be completed regardless of this,' he said, explaining that Gallagher may have to return to Chelsea among prospective freshmen if Felix fails to transfer.
Chelsea needs a front-line resource called Felix, but it is inevitable to think about whether to invest a huge transfer fee. On the other hand, if Felix can be sold to Chelsea, it could be Atletico's best performance this summer. Felix's relationship with Atletico has already ended due to his misbehavior.

In that he received the ace's symbol, the No. 7 uniform, it was possible to see how high Atletico's expectations were for Felix, but his performance fell short of expectations. Felix, who has continued to decline since then, has spent time on rentals. The team that sent the loan at the time was Chelsea. After going through Chelsea, he wore a Barcelona uniform for the 2023-2024 season. Felix also desperately wanted to move to Barcelona to the extent that he embarrassed Atletico by issuing a statement himself before renting Barcelona.
Felix did not perform much in Barcelona as he wanted. He ended the season with a disappointing result compared to the high ransom with 10 goals and 6 assists in 44 official games. Due to his disappointing performance, Barcelona did not enter into negotiations to completely recruit Felix, a simple lessor, and his transfer was in the fog. Recently, Aston Villa and his former team Benfica also showed interest but withdrew due to Atletico's high transfer fee demands.
For Atletico, it is an opportunity to deal with Felix, a difficulty, and even recruit Gallagher. However, if Felix does not go to Chelsea, there may be a frustrating situation in which he can leave Felix in the team and not even bring Gallagher.
Negotiations between Chelsea and Atletico have entered a new phase due to the butterfly effect of the failed transfer of promising players. The choice of Felix and Chelsea depends on Atletico's plans for the next season.
