Chelsea are reportedly close to signing Atletico Madrid club-record signing Joao Felix on loan in January. According to the most recent FotMob news.
Joao, 23, was signed for 126 million dollars in 2019 after winning the European Golden Boy award with Benfica, breaking Atletico’s previous transfer record of Thomas Lemar by more than 50 million dollars.
Despite scoring 33 goals for his new club, Felix has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter, with seven of his twelve LaLiga appearances this season coming as a substitute.
