The transfer was finalized after Félix passed his medical in London, bringing an end to a tumultuous period at Atlético Madrid, where he never fully established himself as the star he was expected to become. Since his arrival at the Spanish club in 2019, Joao Félix played 131 games and scored 33 goals, but his relationship with coach Diego Simeone was often strained, leading to loan spells at Chelsea and then Barcelona.
In his first comments after signing the contract with the Blues, Joao Félix expressed his excitement about returning to Stamford Bridge: "I’m very happy to be back at Chelsea and can’t wait to get started. I loved my time here before, and I told my friends and family that I would love to return to the Premier League someday. Doing so with Chelsea feels great."
With this signing, Chelsea secures a talent who, despite some ups and downs, still has immense potential and promises to be a key part of the team’s future plans. Blues fans are eager to see how Félix fits into the strategy of his new coach and whether he will finally unleash his full potential in the Premier League.
