Joao Felix on Chelsea’s radar once again

 

Chelsea Football Club finds itself grappling with an unexpected struggle, and despite the appointment of renowned manager Mauricio Pochettino, the club continues to grapple with consistency on the pitch. The Blues, under Pochettino’s guidance, are striving to regain their former glory, but the road ahead appears challenging.

Pochettino stepped in to fill the managerial void left by club legend Frank Lampard. While Lampard was given multiple opportunities, his tenure was marred by inconsistency. Pochettino, hailed as one of the world’s finest managers, brings a wealth of experience, but the adjustment to a new environment takes time.

In a surprising twist, Pochettino is reportedly eyeing a player who had previously donned the Chelsea blue jersey under Lampard and his predecessor, Graham Potter. According to 90min, the Blues are contemplating a move to rival Barcelona for the signature of Joao Felix, currently with Atletico Madrid.

Joao Felix’s recent history includes a loan spell at Chelsea during the second half of the previous season. While his tenure wasn’t disastrous, it also fell short of the expectations set by the Stamford Bridge hierarchy, considering the investment made for his loan. Felix contributed four goals before returning to Atletico Madrid at the end of the season.

With his differences with Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone well-documented, Felix is poised to depart from the Spanish capital before the summer transfer window closes. The question now lingers over his next destination.

Both Barcelona and Chelsea offer familiar surroundings for the talented Portuguese player. Having showcased his skills in both La Liga and the Premier League, Felix’s decision could hinge on various factors, including the prospect of European football.

Chelsea, under the guidance of their new manager, presents an enticing proposition for Felix. Moreover, with the acquisition of a traditional striker, he could find himself with the freedom to operate as a second striker or a false nine, a role that suits his style of play.

As the summer transfer window unfolds, the footballing world eagerly awaits Joao Felix’s decision. Where will he choose to showcase his talents this season? Only time will tell.
