On August 20th, according to multiple foreign media reports, Chelsea are close to signing Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix. The Mail pointed out that if the transfer is completed, Sterling’s position in the team could further decline.
It is understood that Chelsea have agreed to sign Felix from Atletico Madrid, which further exacerbates Sterling’s position problems at the club, as he was left out of the squad for the first game against Manchester City.
Romano pointed out that Felix’s transfer fee is €45 million (£38.4 million), plus €5 million (£4.3 million) in add-ons, although Chelsea insiders have not confirmed this figure. He has agreed to a six-year contract with an option to extend for 12 months. In addition, Chelsea will send Gallagher to Atletico Madrid.
The Mail further analyzes that Sterling’s team previously demanded in a statement that the club clarify his future, and now Chelsea are ready to bring in players in the same position for a huge sum of money, which will undoubtedly cast a shadow over Sterling’s future at Chelsea.
