Joao Felix

His potential availability has alerted several teams to a bargain loan deal, with Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, PSG and Aston Villa all in the hunt to ...

Potter sees Felix is a left-sided forward in his front three to partner the likes of Kai Havertz, Mason Mount and Raheem Sterling. Atletico would prefer a permanent deal and rate Felix at around £86m, despite being surplus to requirements with the La Liga giants. The Blues are readying a deal that would see the [Atletico Madrid](/latest/atletico-madrid-fc) star arrive at Stamford Bridge when the transfer window reopens on January 1, as owner Todd Boehly aims to beat their Premier League rivals to his signing.

A winger is high on Graham Potter's agenda in January, but he also wants a centre-back who can compete for a first-team place.

Sterling is Chelsea’s top scorer this season, with five goals, but has played in a variety of roles without being able to find his highest performance levels. "Him and all the players have suffered from that. “Everyone has to do their best to try to protect their families, ultimately. It is said but it has happened before to him. While Chelsea’s rivals have been monitoring Felix, chairman Todd Boehly is believed to be willing to move swiftly for a deal. Potter’s targets for January include a centre-back to compete for a first-team place but a winger is high on his agenda to support an attack that has scored 17 goals in the Premier League this season.

Atletico Madrid are willing to let Joao Felix leave in January for a fee, and Chelsea are interested. Transfer Talk has the latest.

[Atletico Madrid forward](https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/joao-felix/), 23, has started just five of the Spanish giants' 13 league matches so far this season. Chelsea are keen for the design of the deal to be a short-term loan with an option or obligation to buy in the summer.

According to a trustworthy report, Chelsea are considering a transfer for Joao Felix, but any deal might perhaps include this wise stipulation.

I am sure Felix could be a success in the English top-flight, though the first stipulation mentioned is a preference of PoL. Initially, the agreement may be a loan with an option or obligation – more worryingly – to buy at the end of the season. This leaves a problem: which winger should the Blues sign to enhance the team and to help propel Chelsea up the league table?

Joao Felix is attracting plenty of Premier League interest ahead of the January transfer window.

Both Gakpo and Felix were seen as attainable options for United heading into the January transfer window. Liverpool and United had both been linked with Felix before he joined Atletico and the Red Devils could be set to miss out again.

[CMW](https://www.calciomercatoweb.it/2022/12/26/calciomercato-juventus-allegri-vlahovic-simeone-atletico-madrid-joao-felix-morata/), Arsenal could suffer a blow in their quest to sign Felix and Vlahovic in a single move.

Chelsea are looking to do some business in the January transfer window and a forward is a top priority.

The 23-year-old has been used in a deeper role behind the striker at times, but he's struggled to influence games as much from that position. But Potter has refused to confirm whether Ziyech is part of his future plans and Chelsea's interest in Felix only hampers his chances. The future of Hakim Ziyech remains a doubt, with the Moroccan having struggled for minutes under Thomas Tuchel and now Potter.

Arsenal are currently on course to win the Premier League title this season, while Chelsea are struggling to make the top four. United ...

Jorge Mendes may try and send Felix to United to repair relations with the club, particularly in the wake of Ronaldo’s sudden departure. [Liverpool](/latest/liverpool-fc), it’s possible [Manchester United](/latest/manchester-united-fc) will swoop for Joao Felix instead. Ronaldo became a club legend during his first stint at United, firing them to three league titles and the Champions League in 2008 during his time there. United, however, can sell Felix the chance to play for the biggest club in the country - and the opportunity to re-awaken a sleeping giant, too. And that has left a hole in Ten Hag’s attack as he looks to steer the club back into the Champions League at the first time of asking. The [Atletico Madrid](/latest/atletico-madrid-fc) hitman is a player of interest to [Erik ten Hag](/latest/erik-ten-hag)’s side as he looks to land a replacement for [Cristiano Ronaldo](/latest/cristiano-ronaldo) next month.

Joao Felix has been heavily linked with a potential move to the Premier League between now and the end of the January window.

Felix became the second-most expensive teenager in history when he joined Atletico Madrid from Benfica three years ago and is still widely regarded as one of the most exciting young strikers in Europe, with no shortage of clubs lining up to battle it out for his signature next month. Atletico Madrid would reportedly prefer to keep Felix on their books but have reluctantly decided to sell the Portuguese striker following the breakdown of his relationship with Simeone behind closed doors in recent weeks. It remains unclear why Felix decided to pick Leeds as his favourite English club, although it could be implied given his age that his admiration for the Whites began during Marcelo Bielsa's time in charge. [Atletico Madrid](/latest/atletico-madrid-fc) striker Joao Felix has already revealed that he is a keen admirer of a surprise [Premier League](/latest/premier-league) club as he continues to be linked with a January move to England. Chelsea have also been credited with a desire to land Felix, while Arsenal are believed to be weighing up a move of their own as they seek a short-term replacement for the injured Gabriel Jesus. He previously delivered an answer that few would have been expecting when asked to name his favourite English team in an interview with
