Chelsea Football Club: Chelsea Football Club on Wednesday announced the signing of Joao Felix from Atletico Madrid, marking a significant boost to their attacking options. The Portugal international has penned a seven-year contract with the Blues, returning to Stamford Bridge after a promising loan stint last season.
Joao expressed his excitement about rejoining Chelsea. "I’m really happy to be back at Chelsea and I can’t wait to get started," Joao said. "I can see some familiar faces from the last time I was here, which is always nice. I loved my time here before and I told my friends and family that I’d love to return to the Premier League one day. To do that with Chelsea is a great feeling and I’m excited to be back."
The 24-year-old Portuguese star first joined Chelsea on loan during the winter transfer window of the 2022/23 season. During his time with the club, Joao made an impact by scoring four goals in 20 appearances, showcasing his skill and adaptability. His return on a permanent basis promises to bolster Chelsea’s attacking lineup, offering both depth and flexibility to manager Enzo Maresca’s tactical plans.
