Chelsea's move is chaotic. João Félix (Atletico Madrid) is aiming to re-enter the club.

The British Press Express reported on the 12th (Korea time) 'Chelsea wants to recruit Felix. 'In this case, it could mean the end for Raheem Sterling at £50m and Noni Madueke at £29m,' it reported.

Felix, born in 1999, was once a talent that the world was paying attention to. He left Benfica (Portugal) and joined Atletico Madrid (Spain) ahead of the 2019-2020 season. His transfer fee was €126 million at the time. But he rode a rollercoaster ride in Atletico Madrid. There were even rumors that Felix threw his training suit in anger over whether he would play in the game.

Felix tried to make a difference. He moved to Chelsea on loan in January 2023 through the winter transfer window. Felix has scored four goals in 16 English Premier League (EPL) matches. But the trip ended in six months. After Mauricio Pochettino took the helm of Chelsea, 'Sold No. 1' He returned to Atletico Madrid and immediately left for FC Barcelona on loan. In the 2023-2024 season, he left seven goals and three assists in 30 matches in Spain's Primera Liga. He said playing for FC Barcelona was a 'dream'. But his future remains uncertain. He returned to Atletico Madrid after a loan spell at FC Barcelona. There is still a possibility of a transfer through the summer transfer market.

Express added 'Felix played the second half of the 2022-2023 season on loan at Chelsea. Chelsea's general manager wanted him to stay. But Pochettino didn't want it at the time. In the new season, however, Chelsea gave coach Enzo Maresca the helm. It cleared the way for Felix to return.

Chelsea appear to be looking to sell some players at the same time as Felix is recruited. Express says 'When Felix joins Chelsea, Sterling is expected to leave the team. Chelsea have promised another major overhaul of their squad this summer. We recruited young players' he said.
