BREAKING: Chelsea Agree Deal To Sign Joao Felix From Atletico Madrid—-Chelsea have strike an agreement with Atletico Madrid for the permanent signing of Portugal forward Joao Felix according to David Ornstein via his X platform.

The 24-year-old has agreed personal terms on a six-year contract with the option an additional 12 months.

Thecloudngr reported last week that the Premier League club had opened talks with their La Liga counterparts regarding a deal to sign Joao Felix.

Atletico and Chelsea have also been in contact in recent weeks in a bid to conclude a deal for England international Conor Gallagher.

The Chelsea midfielder has been expected to complete a €42million (£36m; $45.9m) move to Atletico but that move has not yet been finalised.

Joao Felix previously spent the second half of the 2022-23 season on loan at Chelsea, scoring four goals in 20 appearances for the Premier League club. The 24-year-old then spent last term on loan at Barcelona, registering 10 goals and six assists in 44 games.

Before joining Barcelona, Joao Felix extended his Atletico contract which now runs until June 2029. He joined Atletico from Benfica in the summer of 2019 for €126m and has scored 34 goals in 131 matches for the Spanish side.

Joao Felix has been capped 41 times by Portugal and made two appearances for his country at the European Championship before returning to Atletico for pre-season.

He would become Chelsea’s ninth summer signing, following the arrivals of Tosin Adarabioyo, Omari Kellyman, Marc Guiu, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Renato Veiga, Caleb Wiley, Aaron Anselmino and Pedro Neto.

Chelsea opened up the new Premier League season with a 2-0 defeat to champions Manchester City.

They begin their Conference League campaign against Servette on Thursday before facing Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday.

The captain put pen to paper on the deal to ensure his association with the Reds will continue into the forthcoming campaigns, almost seven-and-a-half years after he initially arrived at Anfield.

The news follows on from Mohamed Salah also agreeing fresh terms with the club last week.

“I’m very happy, very proud,” Van Dijk told Liverpoolfc.com in exclusive reaction. “There are so many emotions obviously that go through my head right now speaking about it.

“It’s a proud feeling, it’s a feeling of joy. It’s just incredible. The journey I’ve had so far in my career, to be able to extend it with another two years at this club is amazing and I’m so happy.”

He added: “It was always Liverpool. That was the case. It was always in my head, it was always the plan and it was always Liverpool.

“There wasn’t any doubt in my head that this is the place to be for me and my family. I’m one of Liverpool. Someone called me the other day an adopted Scouser – I’m really proud to hear these things, it gives me a great feeling.”

Van Dijk moved to Liverpool from Southampton in January 2018 and he quickly set about establishing himself as one of the finest defenders in world football.

His defensive prowess has been fundamental in helping the Reds win seven major honours during that time, with the No.4 clocking up 314 appearances and 27 goals to date.

The Netherlands international’s trophy haul consists of the Premier League, Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup, FA Cup and two League Cups.

On an individual level, Van Dijk was named the PFA Players’ Player of the Year in 2019 and has been selected in the organisation’s Premier League Team of the Year on four separate occasions.

The 33-year-old also came second in the 2019 Ballon d’Or vote, narrowly missing out to Lionel Messi but underlining his status as a modern-day great.

Van Dijk assumed Liverpool’s captain’s armband on a permanent basis in the summer of 2023 and will now help continue the charge for honours having committed his future to the Reds.
