Joao Felix and Conor Gallagher moves could finalize soon. Chelsea and Atletico Madrid are trying to agree terms as soon as possible. Everything looked done and dusted between the two. The Blues were on course to sign Samu Omorodion from Atleti. But, the 20-year-old striker’s move collapsed in the very final stages. Some went on to say that there was a problem with his medical. Some said he rejected the move because the Blues wanted to own more rights over him. Either ways, the relationship between the clubs after the move broke down was not the same. Now, things are more difficult between the two.
Chelsea are aiming to make a return to the top 4 this season. Man Utd ended up hijacking their UEL spot last campaign. The Blues will be featuring in the UECL 24/25. At the same time, Liverpool also managed to snatch EFL Cup from their grasp. So, the London club were trophyless last time. Meanwhile, Atletico had problems of their own. They would manage to barely qualify for the UCL, finishing 4th place. Whereas, local rivals Real Madrid ended up winning the La Liga and the UCL. The Blues and Los Rojiblancos are keen to get Joao Felix and Conor Gallagher deals done. The moves will be a big boost to both the sides.
A potential swap for Joao Felix and Conor Gallagher
The two clubs will have to iron out the details for Joao Felix and Conor Gallagher soon. The Premier League and La Liga campaigns will be beginning this weekend.

As per the 24-year-old Chelsea midfielder, he was all set for his move to Spain.
Personal terms also had been already agreed. Simeone has made it clear that he wants him. But, Omorodion’s deal going off meant the move could not happen. Considering, Atleti did not have enough funds. So, Conor Gallagher was made to come back to London and now the Blues are wanting Joao Felix as an alternative to Omorodion.
