Chelsea could look to strike another loan deal with Atletico Madrid to bring Joao Felix back to the club.
That is according to Mundo Deportivo, who claim Chelsea are not prepared to meet Atletico's €100 million (£87 million) asking price and so another temporary switch is being contemplated. Felix made the loan switch to Stamford Bridge in January until the end of the season but no option to buy was agreed as part of the deal.
The Portugal international is therefore set to return to the Spanish capital at the end of the month with just four matches of the campaign remaining. While Felix has impressed at times during his five months in England, his inability to lock down a position has worked against him, particularly under Frank Lampard.
