Joao Felix: Chelsea reach verbal agreement with Manchester United transfer target
According to legit sources, Chelsea have won the race to sign Joao Felix on a six-month loan deal from Atletico Madrid, beating the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal.
Man United obviously wanted a forward this month as a direct replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo, whose contract was terminated in November.
However, United pulled out of the race after they failed to meet Atletico Madrid’s reported £13million demands for Felix’s loan fee.
Arsenal were said to be interested in the Portugal international but according to the Atheltic’s reporter David Ornstein, Chelsea have reached a verbal agreement to sign Joao Felix from the La Liga club this month.
