Chelsea now look as if they are going to be the side who are completing business all the way up until the end of the summer transfer window.
There looks to be some serious late changes to their plans after it emerged a deal to bring in Samu Omorodion had fallen through at the final moments.
It was reported there was a change of heart after the signing of Pedro Neto, however if that is the case Chelsea may have shot themselves in the foot when it comes to selling one of their own players.
The deal for Conor Gallagher to move to Atletico Madrid now looks in serious doubt, with both sides looking for some sort of solution.
The latest idea that has been brought up is the signing of Joao Felix after his divisive loan spell two seasons ago.
Chelsea about to bid for Joao Felix
Journalist Pedro Morata has stated that the Blues are expected to make a move for the attacker in the coming hours.
He told Directo Gol: “If there is no agreement with Chelsea, Gallagher will return to London tomorrow. Chelsea will make an offer tomorrow for João Félix.”
It has been claimed Felix is available for £43m, however Chelsea will likely want to get that fee down in order to strike a deal.
Felix’s time at Stamford Bridge in the past certainly didn’t blow anyone away, however it has to be noted that he came into an extremely rough situation at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea still interested in Victor Osimhen
He is clearly a talented player, previously being described as ‘special’, and still has plenty of years left at the top level.
However, it doesn’t feel exactly the signing Chelsea need to make at this stage, with them surely prioritising the addition of a out-and-out striker instead.
Reports have refused to stop linking them to the potential signing of Victor Osimhen, who is expected to leave Napoli in the next two weeks or so.
