Chelsea loan star Joao Felix may have already dropped a major hint over a potential permanent switch to the club in the summer transfer window. The Portugal international joined on a six-month loan deal in January, hopeful of adding quality and depth to the attacking areas.
The 23-year-old has scored just once for the Blues in a stuttering attacking force, but his ability when given license to roam is quite clear. The forward has a few months remaining to stamp his mark at Stamford Bridge before returning to the Rojiblancos, with uncertainty as to what will come after.
When asked whether qualification for Europe will be key in a future switch, Felix told reporters earlier this week: "Yeah, playing in the Champions League is always different. It’s a competition that everyone wants to play. But now I’m focused on this Champions League, on the game. We have a lot of games yet to try to reach the Champions League in the league. It’s not over. But, yeah, playing in the Champions League is an important decision, but the future no one knows, so let’s see what happens and then we’ll see.”
