Chelsea target Joao Felix has now completed a medical ahead of a move to Stamford Bridge, according to Sky Sports reporter Lyall Thomas.
It’s been a busy summer transfer window for the Blues, and Todd Boehly’s recruitment team are continuing to spend as we edge closer to the deadline. Joao Felix is the next player who is likely to arrive through the door after previously spending half a season on loan with the west London club.
Sky Sports reporter Thomas has now claimed that Felix has finished his medical ahead of a move to Chelsea, with a deal now being finalised.
Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano reported earlier this week that Chelsea were closing in on a deal to sign Joao Felix, with talks at the final stages and a verbal agreement almost done. The Blues finalised personal terms with the Portuguese international, who is now set to return to Stamford Bridge after his loan move back in 2023.
Raheem Sterling, who can play all across the front line like Felix, has been heavily linked with a departure after he wasn’t named in Chelsea’s squad at the weekend. As a result, Felix could be eyed as his replacement, and it will allow Conor Gallagher to go the other way.
Although losing Gallagher will be a bit of a blow to Enzo Maresca’s side, due to him being an academy produce he will represent pure profit on the books when it comes to profit and sustainability calculations. After spending a hefty amount of money over the last few years, tackling their financial situation will be imperative.
