Chelsea should pay Atletico’s high price for Joao Felix in the summer
Following attacking impetus and an injection of quality for Chelsea versus West Ham United, The Pride of London explain why the Blues should pay Atletico Madrid’s high price for Joao Felix in the summer.
You’ll need to find a statistician if you want a more comprehensive breakdown of why Felix is a man CFC cannot afford to let slip through the net and strengthen a rival for available silverware. What I can often do is notice class and effectiveness, whilst knowing what a team requires. And I see a very classy player in the Portuguese.
Anyone watching him will probably understand as well. The 23-year-old is now proving that he has the metal for the Premier League. The official Chelsea website is speaking highly of him. Even Blues transfer target Declan Rice singled him out for praise.
The £124million Atletico demand is obviously a lot, but the inflated market presently dictates that as a fair price for the luxury forward. Envisioning a flourishing potential partnership between the Portugal man, Christopher Nkunku, Enzo Fernandez, Mykhailo Mudryk and Co. is mouth-watering.

A return to the Champions League for Chelsea versus Borussia Dortmund
Graham Potter’s mirage of a great start with the Blues actually transpired in the UCL and consisted of the former Brighton & Hove Albion gaffer getting the better of huge Italian outfit AC Milan. Like I say, conquering the Milanese only really masked Potter’s seeming incompetence and CFC’s formerly under qualified squad.
Following necessary roster reinforcements over January, the Englishman will have no excuses if he cannot oversee the Blues’ ascendancy towards the English top-flight summit. He must at least ensure the campaign some dignity by now climbing the division. A way to save the season technically lies in Europe.
Is winning the Champions League an actually possibility? Why not. Sure. No problem. In reality the Chels’ players are good enough, but a CL triumph, as the club achieved in 2020/21, is unlikely. The starting XI must have time to gel before those dreams are realised or even expected again. Is it the route back to Europe this term? I think so. A feat which appears similarly improbable.

Borussia Dortmund are the Round of 16 opposition. The Germans emerged from a group containing Manchester City, Sevilla and Copenhagen, so are typically no pushovers. BVB are currently third in the Bundesliga. Wednesday’s match is at Signal Iduna Park; the second leg is at Stamford Bridge on March 7.
