How Chelsea can afford dream Joao Felix transfer despite huge Atletico Madrid asking price

Todd Boehly has been told how Chelsea can afford the signing of Joao Felix in the summer despite Atletico Madrid's steep asking price. The 23-year-old was heavily linked with a move to Arsenal in the January transfer window but, after the Blues swooped in, he opted for a switch to west London instead.

Despite only featuring a handful of times for Chelsea, Felix's impressive performances have quickly seen him become a regular in Graham Potter's side. The Portugal international has made a great impression since arriving at Stamford Bridge on loan, so much so that Todd Boehly is said to be a huge fan.

According to Relevo, the American billionaire wants to see if a move is possible. The report states that the Blues have scheduled talks with the Spanish giants next month to discuss a potential switch, with a decision to be made in May.
