Felix joins Chelsea on loan, but extends Altletico contract

João Félix has joined Chelsea on loan from Atlético Madrid. He will stay at the Premier League club until the end of the season. Felix has also extended his contract with Atletico Madrid until June 2027. The 23-year-old became the third most expensive player of all time when Atletico triggered the 126 million euro (around $140 million) buyout clause in his Benfica contract in 2019. Chelsea has signed four players in January. Fèlx will compete with Raheem Sterling, Christian Pulisic, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Kai Havertz and Hakim Ziyech for a place in the forward line.
