Felix joins Chelsea on loan, but extends Atletico contract

João Félix joins Chelsea on loan from Atletico Madrid. He will stay at the Premier League club until the end of the season. Felix extends his contract with Atleti until June 2027. He became the third most expensive player of all time when Attero triggered a 126 million euro buyout clause in his Benfica contract. Chelsea has signed four players in January. Felix will compete with Raheem Sterling, Christian Pulisic, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Kai Havertz and Hakim Ziyech for a place in the forward line.
