Joao Felix has been linked with a summer transfer to Chelsea after completing his loan deal from Atletico Madrid

On a cold January night at Craven Cottage, it almost felt like Chelsea had found the answer. Having barely been with the club for 24 hours Joao Felix started for Graham Potter and seemed to change everything.
The Portugal star was a constant threat from the halfway line and showed trickery on the ball, the ability to move directly and most importantly of all helped Chelsea actually have shots on goal, something that had been severely lacking.
The Atletico had six shots of his own, though did not find the net, and was starting to hint at why Chelsea had decided to spend in the region of £9million a loan a Doubt soon returned as a rash challenge saw Felix sent off, receiving a ban in the process. However, there seemed little doubt he was the Chelsea player with the most quality on the pitch.

There was a greater understanding of the deal as the Blues looked to overcome an awful start to the season. Could Felix either inspire a run to the Champions League final or qualification to next season's competition via the top four?

That Chelsea had a belief he could do that, was the only way to rationalise the move in many regards, though even upon agreeing the loan, there was the suggestion the Blues would be keen to look at a permanent deal in the summer.
Chelsea earned £151.7 million in 2021/22, £21.1 million higher than 10th place that year. The Champions League offered the opportunity to earn money as well. After Felix's arrival, the quarterfinal meant an additional £9.4 million, the semifinal £11.1 million, and the final £13.7 million.

Inter have made the asking price clear for wingback Denzel Dumfries during the summer transfer window clear, with incoming Chelsea coach eyeing up a move for the Dutch World Cup star.

This according to Italian news outlet Repubblica.it, who report that the 27-year-old is a major target for the Argentine who is expected to take over at Stamford Bridge, and that the Nerazzurri would expect a fee of at least €40 million for his signature. Dumfries’s future at Inter has looked uncertain for some time now, with the 26-year-old former PSV man having been strongly linked as a possible sale during the summer transfer window should the Nerazzurri need to bring in cash from the market. The likes of Chelsea and Manchester United have been reported to be interested, whilst Barcelona have reportedly also enquired about the Dutchman for the summer transfer window. However, in March Gianluca Di Marzio reported that Dumfries is no longer a major target for Chelsea as he had been in the past. The situation at Stamford Bridge has been in flux, however, with Graham Potter removed as head coach just a few months after taking over, replaced with Frank Lampard on an interim basis.
