Chelsea FC and Atlético Madrid are maintaining active negotiations regarding a potential player exchange involving João Félix and Conor Gallagher. Despite a tense situation, the deal has not yet collapsed.
João Félix has expressed his approval of a move to Chelsea, where he previously had a successful loan spell. The Portuguese forward’s desire to return to Stamford Bridge is a positive indicator for the London club. However, there are still significant details to be ironed out between the two clubs before an agreement can be reached.
The negotiations have become more complex following the recent breakdown of an unrelated transfer involving Samu Omorodion. This has added an additional layer of complexity to the ongoing talks between Chelsea and Atlético.
Conor Gallagher, the Chelsea academy graduate, has been a subject of interest from Atlético Madrid. The Spanish club views him as a valuable addition to their midfield. However, Chelsea is keen to ensure that any deal involving Gallagher is beneficial for them, both in terms of squad balance and financial considerations.
