Chelsea eyeing shock reunion with Portuguese star
Chelsea are eyeing a shock reunion with Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix this month, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Blues recently ended talks to sign Samu Omorodion from Atletico following a disagreement over image rights.
This has angered Atletico who agreed to sign Conor Gallagher only after sanctioning Omorodion's move to Chelsea .
It is now reported that the Blues are prepared to make up for it. They have proposed to re-sign Felix from the La Liga giants.
Felix had a decent loan spell with the Blues last year, and the hierarchy are now prepared to consider a permanent transfer.
The Benfica graduate could be available for around £40 million. It is claimed that the Portuguese is open to a reunion.
Felix is prepared to accept a significant pay-cut on his current wages such that he can secure a return to Stamford Bridge.
Aston Villa have also been credited with an interest, but Felix is likely to give preference to the Blues for a transfer.
