Chelsea are looking set for a three-way contest to land Atletico Madrid star Joao Felix with Arsenal and Manchester United the other contenders for the Portugal international’s signature.
Felix has been heavily linked with a move away from the Spanish capital city and speculation is rife that the 23-year-old could be making the switch to the Premier League come the summer of 2023.
The Blues have been tipped as one of the potential suitors for the former Benfica starlet who has endured an underwhelming spell by his standards since he signed for Atletico in a big-money deal back in 2019 from his homeland Portugal.
According to a report from The Sun, it is claimed that Atletico owner Gil Marin has admitted that a breakdown in the relationship between Felix and the club boss Diego Simione could set the stage for Felix to leave Vicente Calderon.
An eyewatering £120 million price tag is what Felix’s suitors in the market would be forced to shell out should they want to move in first for the attacker who has scored once and assisted twice in four games at the World Cup in Qatar.
