Chelsea sent glowing Joao Felix permanent transfer verdict despite clear Real Madrid worry

Todd Boehly has been told to go "all-out" to sign Joao Felix on a permanent transfer at Chelsea once his loan at Stamford Bridge expires in the summer. The 23-year-old joined the club in January from Atletico Madrid and has provided moments of quality in Blue, but has ultimately failed to deliver on the big occasions.

From 13 appearances across the Premier League and Champions League, Felix has managed just two goals with both strikes coming in 1-1 draws against West Ham and Everton. Despite his poor goal return over the last few months, as football.london reported recently, Chelsea are seriously considering making a permanent move for the Atletico loanee once his temporary contract is up, with Felix also loving life in west London.

"If I want to stay or not, the future nobody knows," Felix said when discussing his future in March. "We don't know what will happen. I am here and the club is so big, it's amazing. Everyone behind the club is so good so I am happy to be here."
