I’ve been talking to plenty of Chelsea followers gauging feeling on the deal to carry Joao Felix in on mortgage from Atletico Madrid for the remainder of the season, and I need to say that I’ve seen a moderately break up response.
Many are pleased, others are sad, and a few extra are someplace within the center. The actual fact is, there are definitely many professionals and plenty of cons on this deal, and Blues followers are usually break up.
As you possibly can see from Fabrizio Romano’s report under, the deal is sort of costly for 5 months, and Chelsea are additionally paying his wages in full, and don’t have any agreed purchase choice. Felix additionally prolonged his contract with Atletico for an extra season earlier than he joins.

Naturally, all of the above presents considerations. There are numerous dangers right here and there’s additionally an opportunity that Chelsea don’t handle to signal him in the summertime and in the event that they do, he would possibly nonetheless be very costly.
However for me, the proof can be within the pudding on this one. If he is available in now and luggage 10-15 objectives and assists for the remainder of the season, which could really even be a brilliant optimistic demand, then it can show to be an excellent signing regardless. Chelsea have clearly reacted to accidents to attackers right here, and that may be a good factor.
I can see all angles right here although, however I genuinely suppose that if he actually improves our workforce and is available in and helps with some objectives and assists, then it can show to be an excellent resolution.
He’s additionally seemingly very eager on making the transfer and has pushed it via fairly fast, so that may be a good signal. Let’s simply hope that he could make some constructive affect and enhance Chelsea, which let’s face it, isn’t laborious to do proper now!
