Joao Felix has completed his medical in London and is expected to sign his contract soon under a lucrative deal valid until June 2030.

Joao Felix is on the verge of finalizing his transfer to Chelsea, with significant developments reported today.

The Portuguese forward has successfully completed his medical examinations in London, a crucial step confirmed by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

The transfer deal for Felix is valued at €50 million, and it’s expected that the final paperwork will soon be completed, officially making him a Chelsea player.

Felix’s arrival is eagerly anticipated by fans and marks another high-profile addition to the Stamford Bridge roster.

This move has a direct impact on Conor Gallagher's future. The completion of Felix’s transfer will now unblock Gallagher’s move to Atletico Madrid.

Gallagher’s €42 million transfer was initially stalled due to complications arising from Samu Omorodion’s transfer collapse.

Omorodion’s situation forced Gallagher back to London, causing delays and uncertainties around his own transfer.

Gallagher has already finalized all the necessary formalities for his transfer to Atletico Madrid. The delay was primarily to avoid any further complications akin to those seen with Omorodion’s transfer issues.

With Felix’s medical completed, Gallagher is expected to travel to Spain shortly to complete his transfer to Atletico Madrid.

Chelsea’s continued investment in new talent underscores their ambition and commitment to strengthening the squad. Felix, a dynamic attacker known for his flair and creativity, is set to become a key player in Mauricio Pochettino’s plans.
