Chelsea is on the brink of securing a deal to bring Joao Felix back to Stamford Bridge, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

The negotiations with Atlético Madrid have reached the final stages, with only a few details left to finalise.

Romano reported on Monday via X that there is already a verbal agreement in place between the two clubs, and the structure of the deal is being completed.

Additionally, Chelsea has reached a total agreement on personal terms with Joao Felix, who is eager to return to the Premier League side.

Romano stated, “Chelsea are closing in on João Félix deal! Talks are at final stages to get it sealed soon. Verbal agreement almost done with Atlético, final details on structure being completed.

“Total agreement with João on personal terms as he wants #CFC return. Almost there.”

Earlier, Romano reported, “Understand Chelsea and Atlético are getting closer to final agreement for João Félix and Conor Gallagher!

“Positive round of talks today, João says yes to contract terms. Rumours on €60m fixed fee for Félix are not true. All parties working to get it done this weekend.”
