A famed forward, who once cost his current club €126 million, is said to be desperate for a transfer back to Chelsea. The Portuguese is actually a one-time Blues loanee, as well. Therefore many people will believe this is a match made in heaven. Although, the loan was an uneven one at best, with few glimpses of what the former os Pestinhas youngster can achieve. Is Joao Felix heading to Stamford Bridge this offseason? And is he the right man for the west London outfit?
In addition to seemingly targeting a playmaker type, the Blues also seek a senior striker to take on massive responsibilities. That is if speculative reports on the matter are worthy of trust. However, CFC have been forced to offer two players in a prospective swap deal in order to clinch their wanted man. But which surplus Chels' asset will join the unwanted Romelu Lukaku as an apparent makeweight?
Joao Felix pushes for Chelsea move, though some Blues supporters are not convinced
Felix's previous and brief stint at the Bridge was polarising, if not slightly one sided in assessment. The Portugal international is certainly of Premier League-standard, though he didn't do enough to convince everyone whilst in the English capital. I don't think he simply walks into any big six, seven or even top eight teams!
Nevertheless, Felix does has undeniable qualities, as previously outlined. As a winger who can play in the No.10 very comfortably too, he is slightly unique or a more sought commodity. He temporarily represented superclub Barcelona in the recently ended season; the 24-year-old was quite instrumental in any success the Blaugrana attained, to be fair.
Now Felix is supposedly extremely anxious on a return to the EPL; Fulham Road is meant to be his preferred destination. Nevertheless, doubts were raised by the media, including football.london, regarding the Atletico Madrid man's suitability for Enzo Maresca's style and side.
There are too question marks over whether Felix is appropriate for the Blues from The Pride of London. Nonetheless, the star is possibly a bit of a relative bargain due to a €60m price tag; he was once acquired for an eye-watering €126m fee.
Victor Osimhen swap saga continues
It seems that anything can happen in Chelsea transfer windows these days. We assumed signing Victor Osimhen was unlikely. Yet it appears there is a chance that the Nigeria National Team representative could still be on his way to CFC; Lukaku and Cesare Casadei are sweeteners.
