- Portuguese forward joined Blues in January
- Open to the idea of staying on
- Rojiblancos keen on stars at Stamford Bridge
WHAT HAPPENED? Spanish full-back Marc Cucurella is another player that the Blues would be willing to include in a transfer package that would allow them to keep Portugal international forward Felix at Stamford Bridge beyond the end of his initial loan spell.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: A second loan agreement has been speculated on for the 23-year-old, at a cost of around £16 million ($20m), with Chelsea reluctant to meet Atletico’s £100m ($126m) asking price in any permanent arrangement. They are still hoping to find a way of bringing that figure down.
AND WHAT'S MORE: According to Standard Sport, Aubameyang or Cucurella could be used as makeweights in a move for Felix – with Atleti said to be interested in both. Talks between Premier League and La Liga heavyweights remain ongoing heading towards the summer window.
