Chelsea are in talks to sign Joao Felix on a permanent deal from Atletico Madrid and reports say that the Blues are considering offering multiple players in exchange to the Spanish giants.
Felix moved to Chelsea on loan in January with the Premier League club spending roughly £16 million to being the Portuguese forward to Stamford Bridge.
Whilst the 23-year-old has struggled for minutes since Frank Lampard returned to the club, Chelsea remain interested in extending Felix’s stay.
He’s only started once in the Blues’ last six games, however his most recent goal came in a win over Bournemouth at the weekend.

Reports claim that Atletico are demanding roughly €100 million (£87m) for Felix, but could also let him leave on loan again.
However, Chelsea want a permanent deal and are looking at ways to lower the asking price. They’re said to be open to allowing both Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Marc Cucurella to move to Atletico as part of the deal in exchange for Felix.
Aubameyang has made it clear he doesn’t want to play for Chelsea, and wants to return to Spain.
Chelsea are closing in on the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino as their next permanent manager, and he could have some influence on what happens with Felix.
The former Tottenham boss reportedly wants to bring in a new goalkeeper, central midfielder and striker in the summer.
