This summer, Chelsea will not sign loanee Joao Felix to a permanent contract.

The Atletico Madrid forward was loaned to the Premier League club in January and appeared in 20 games across all competitions, scoring four goals and collecting no assists.

And new manager Mauricio Pochettino has already decided that a £15 million permanent deal for the Portuguese sensation is not in the cards.

In a harsh first move, the Argentine has dropped the player Atletico purchased for £113 million in 2019 – the fourth-most expensive transfer in history.

Atletico president Enrique Cerezo has declared that the Blues would not sign Felix and that he will return to the Spanish capital.
