It remains to be seen whether any club will match Atleti's asking price for Felix in January, but Chelsea may be willing to take the risk as they aim to finish inside the top four.

This is nowhere near good enough for a team who had aspirations of finishing in the top four, or even challenging for a title going into the season. He has managed for long enough to recognise a position of need and the attack is their main one. The report also claims that a centre-back is also high on Potter’s wish list.

AC Milan could launch a move to sign Joao Felix from Atletico Madrid, according to a report, amid speculation that the forward could leave the LaLiga club.

Milan are very likely to have spoken with Mendes about Felix given that there are already discussions between the parties over Rafael Leao’s future. Felix has a contract until June 2026 and has collected just 818 minutes of playing time across all competitions so far this season.
