Finally, Chelsea confirm transfer of Portuguese superstar to Stamford Bridge

National Daily can confirm that Chelsea have completed the signing of Portugal star Joao Felix on loan from Atletico Madrid until the end of the season

The Blues have paid a reported loan fee of £9million to bring the 23-year-old to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea do not have the option to make the loan deal permanent with Felix extending his contract at Atletico to 2027 prior to making the switch to west London.

He becomes the club’s fourth signing of the January window following the arrivals of Benoit Badiashile, Wesley Fofana and Andrey Santos.

‘Chelsea is one of the great teams in the world and I hope to help the team reach their objectives, so I am very, very happy to be here and very excited to play at Stamford Bridge,’ Felix said.
