The Portuguese star spent a portion of the 2022/23 campaign
on loan at Stamford Bridge and while it wasn't the most successful stint, the
English club is interested in bringing him back this summer.
The Blues have reportedly advanced into the final stages of
negotiating a deal for Felix, but while he is still at Atletico Madrid, Simeone
will wait and see whether he can use him, as he hinted at during a pre-match
press conference.
In an an interview with a Spanish daily Simeone spoke about
a potential transfer to the blues
"Joao Félix is doing very well, his behaviour is what
a player in this squad should have, ready for any job and competing with other
teammates. Time will tell if we can use him tomorrow or not, "Simeone
stated.
Having previously been at the club on loan, a deal for
Felix this summer will reportedly be a permanent one, with sports journalist
Fabrizio Romano reporting that Chelsea will be paying a maximum of €45m,
including add-ons for the star.
Chelsea Head Coach Enzo Maresca and company are clearly very
interested in the 24-year-old, who will be hoping for a more successful tenure
in England this time around if he is to join.
