Cristiano Ronaldo has made his feelings on Joao Felix clear, with the forward set to snub Arsenal and Man Utd for Chelsea.

[Cristiano Ronaldo](/latest/cristiano-ronaldo) has already made his thoughts clear on Joao Felix ahead of the wantaway Atletico Madrid forward's January move to [Chelsea](/latest/chelsea-fc). A central [defender] and a goalkeeper can be worth £61m to £70m. Leaving aside the case of Joao Felix, any player is worth £88m, even without having proven anything. "There is more money in football.

What about a high-level alternative to [Reece James](https://theathletic.com/football/player/reece-james-GKa1YfGdueMrjfBr/) on the right of defence? [Enzo Fernandez](https://theathletic.com/football/player/enzo-fernandez-mA2LkzPdMOcVkFoZ/), somewhere in the region of his £105m ($128m) buyout clause? The most desirable players are not typically attainable in January, and those who are (such as Fernandez) have onerous price tags intended to deter rather than encourage interest. But focusing on the summer could also afford precious time for Chelsea’s new recruitment team — Christopher Vivell, Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley have all been in their posts a matter of weeks, while Joe Shields remains on gardening leave at It’s worth casting an eye back to January 2016, a matter of weeks after Mourinho’s second acrimonious departure and in the midst of Chelsea’s annus horribilis. At this point, most supporters would be pleasantly surprised if they made it past [Borussia Dortmund](https://theathletic.com/football/team/dortmund/) in the round of 16. Recruiting strongly in this window might also mitigate the fact that, as well as possibly no Champions League football, there is no high-profile draw for top players in the dugout — Potter, for all his promise as a coach, does not yet possess the pulling power of Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp or even his predecessor, Thomas Tuchel. Finishing in the top four this season would bring to an end Arsenal’s painful — and, at times, startlingly bleak — six-season absence from the Champions League. One is the loss of prestige in the eyes of the world’s most talented and coveted footballers — a status blow that is compounded with each additional year you fail to qualify. The other is the stark loss in broadcast revenue that limits transfer spending within financial fair play regulations and places significant pressure on a club’s existing wage bill. Further intervention is clearly required to salvage the first season of Boehly-Clearlake ownership. Performances and results are flatlining and Graham Potter is beginning to bear the brunt of supporter frustrations.

Joao Felix is on his way to sign for Chelsea after they reached a full agreement to sign him on loan from Atletico Madrid.

Now, he will be playing in the Premier League for the first time. It may just be a tactic to preserve his market value when the time comes for a sale, though. Either way, his immediate future will lie in London. Summing everything up, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has taken to Twitter to confirm the move is going ahead. For example, he was linked with Manchester United and Arsenal. A Premier League transfer has long been touted for the Portuguese talent.

Chelsea are signing Joao Felix on loan for the rest of the 2022-23 season, but where will Graham Potter play the versatile Portugal forward?

The hope will be that the versatile Felix will be able to unlock Chelsea's other toiling attackers, rather than necessarily rattling in a load of goals himself. Chelsea's search for an attacker who is actually capable of hitting the back of the net has become desperate. In their latest attempt to remedy their goalscoring woes, the Blues – backed by their free-spending new ownership – have turned to Atletico Madrid wantaway Joao Felix, another player who is far from prolific and does not have a fixed position.

He will also be the club’s first capture since Boehly stood down from his role as interim sporting director to be replaced by Paul Winstanley and Christopher Vivell, who joined to head up Chelsea’s recruitment drive earlier this season. It comes with manager Graham Potter in the grip of an injury crisis, with 10 first-team players unavailable for last Sunday’s meek 4-0 surrender against Manchester City in the FA Cup. Felix will become the 13th signing of owner Todd Boehly’s reign, following a massive £250m transfer outlay in the summer and the capture of striker David Fofana and defender Benoit Badiashile earlier in January.

Joao Felix is good at football and Chelsea are desperate, but this loan deal has all the ingredients of an expensive catastrophe.

But they’ll be paying for six, and by all accounts what they’ll be paying him amounts to another million quid a month. And we don’t want to be too much of an old man yelling at clouds, but when precisely did we all just start accepting and normalising things like ’11 million euro loan fee’ anyway? It remains possible that Todd Boehly knows best and this is a season-saving masterstroke. He is not, based on anything we know and have seen of him up until now, the solution to Chelsea’s goals problem. And it’s not just a Chelsea thing. There’s a bottling-lightning element to all transfers that means predicting success or failure is almost always a fool’s errand.
