Felix to return to Atletico Madrid as Chelsea reject permanent deal

Mauricio Pochettino does not want Chelsea to sign forward Joao Felix permanently, says the Atletico Madrid president.

Felix arrived at Stamford Bridge in January on a five-month loan deal from Atleti worth £9m – but the 23-year-old scored just four goals in 20 games at Stamford Bridge.

Now, Atleti president Enrique Cerezo has announced Chelsea will not take up the option to sign Felix permanently, under the orders of newly-appointed head coach Pochettino.

“Yesterday we had the news that the new Chelsea manager does not want João Félix,” Cerezo told AS.

“We’ve known for less than 24 hours. He’ll come back here and we’ll see. We don’t have anything planned.”
