Joao Felix Transfer: Premier League: Chelsea has been in all sorts of disarray this season. Todd Boehly’s Chelsea performance has been dismal so far and the Blues are struggling in the 11th position in the Premier League. They have spent a whopping 650 million pounds this season so far, without any success to show for it. Joao Felix was also one of the players who they bought in the winter window on loan. Reports now suggest that the Blues are looking to keep Felix at the Stamford Bridge post this season. The reason is that Mauricio Pochettino wants to partner Lukaku with Felix at the top of the attack. Follow Chelsea Football Club LIVE Updates on InsideSport.IN

But even though Chelsea will not finish in the top four, the possibility of another season in the Premier League is starting to look most realistic. Diego Simeone, the manager of Atletico, has advanced since Felix left the team in the January transfer window. Since the midfielder left on a six-month deal with Chelsea for a reported £9.7 million in fees, Atletico has won 12 and lost just one of 16 games.
Joao Felix looks set to stay at Chelsea for another year on a second loan deal.
Felix is settled in London and happy to stay but wants assurances from the incoming permanent boss – expected to be Mauricio Pochettino – that he will get game time.

What does Diego Simeone want?
Atletico Madrid’s manager Simeone is eager to make the move permanent, but Atletico officials are demanding £88 million for the Portuguese international, who has fallen out of favor at Chelsea. He has started the previous three games for interim manager Frank Lampard from the bench.
Felix, 23, has made himself at home in London and is content to stay, but he needs guarantees from the new permanent manager, who is likely to be Mauricio Pochettino, that he will see action. last few weeks.

A compromise second loan is likely as a result of that and the fact that Chelsea is hesitant to pay Felix’s full asking price. Todd Boehly, the Chelsea chairman, would be out about £18 million in fees in addition to Felix’s salary of about £250,000 per week. Even though Pochettino is yet to be officially announced as the next Chelsea boss, plans are already underway for next season.
Romelu Lukaku, who is still part of Chelsea’s team will be heading back to the Stamford Bridge after a sorry spell at Inter Milan. His loan spell in Italy this season hasn’t panned out the way he would have envisioned and the Inter Milan bosses have almost decided not to make the move permanent.
