Chelsea make 'long-term' Joao Felix transfer decision amid Todd Boehly summer plan

Chelsea are reportedly pondering the possibility of making Joao Felix's loan move from Atletico Madrid permanent in the summer. The forward has impressed since his January arrival and has been one of the Blues' most consistent performers.

Felix has scored only two goals since moving to west London but has been one of the club's most dangerous outlets of attack in the second half of the season. The Portuguese arrived after interest from Arsenal, extending his contract at Atletico Madrid prior to his move.

However, the decision to commit his long-term future to the La Liga side doesn't necessarily mean he will remain in the Spanish capital. Atleti were keen to tie the 23-year-old's deal to protect his value if they were to offload him in the future, which football.london understands is a real possibility.
