Chelsea and Manchester City are reportedly interested in a potential transfer deal for Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix.
According to Todo
Fichajes, the two Champions League finalists are on alert as it looks like Felix
could be on the move after struggling under Diego Simeone.
The Portugal international
has long been regarded as a top young talent, but it seems he isn’t quite the
right fit for Simeone’s style of play and could leave in the near future.
Joao Felix is being linked with Chelsea and
Manchester City
Todo
Fichajes claim, however, that Chelsea and Man City are only ready to pay around
€80million to sign Felix, which would represent a big loss on the fee Atletico
paid for him when they brought him in from Benfica.
Chelsea
could do with bringing in new attacking players this summer after a worrying
lack of goals has marred an otherwise impressive campaign.
Timo
Werner hasn’t performed as expected up front, while Tammy Abraham and Olivier
Giroud also don’t look like being prolific scorers and have fallen out of
favour with Thomas Tuchel.
Felix
could help Chelsea in that department, though he’d also undoubtedly do a job at
City as they prepare to bid farewell to Sergio Aguero.
The
legendary Argentine is nearing the end of his contract and will be a tough act
to follow at the Etihad Stadium, but Felix could do well under the guidance of
Pep Guardiola.
