JOAO FELIX has reportedly “not stopped boasting” about being a Chelsea player since arriving at Stamford Bridge.
The Atletico Madrid loanee, 23, joined the Blues in the January transfer window in a short-term deal until the end of the season.
Joao Felix has impressed since arriving in the Premier League
Chelsea agreed a deal worth £10million for Felix – who is set to return to Spain in the summer.
However, the Portuguese forward is understood to want a permanent departure as he does not wish to head back to Diego Simeone‘s side.
And according to AS, Felix has been gushing about how the Chelsea shirt looks on him, as well as the playing style and fans of the club.
Atletico signed Felix from Benfica in 2019 for a club record £111m.
And they are set to command a “significant amount” if Chelsea wish to prise him away from the Wanda Metropolitano.
Felix’s price is also expected to increase if he has a major impact on the Blues’ tie with Real Madrid in the Champions League.
The Portugal international has registered just two goals in 12 games for Chelsea.
But his energy, skill and link-up play has impressed the Stamford Bridge faithful.
That is despite him receiving a red card on his debut against Fulham in the West London derby in January.
The standout performances he has produced for Chelsea have been few and far between in the Spanish capital.
Since his club record move, he has contributed 34 goals and 18 assists in 131 games for Atletico.
And he started just seven of their 16 league matches this season before being loaned out.
