Joao Felix has praised Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia on social media ahead of his return to parent club Atletico Madrid this summer. The 23-year-old is preparing for the last two games on loan at Chelsea with an uncertain future on the horizon.
With Madrid keen to recoup as much of the £111million they paid Benfica for him in 2019, a permanent deal appears to be off the table for the Blues but another loan could yet happen. The player himself is believed to be after another year in the Champions League, something that would rule out Mauricio Pochettino's men for 2023/24.
This hasn't stopped him opening up about his love for London and Chelsea, though. Madrid are set to be no more stable than Chelsea next year with Diego Simeone's long-term future just as unsettled, another factor that could impact Felix's decision.
