Atletico Madrid sends back Chelsea’s €45 million offer for Felix

Atletico Madrid and Chelsea are currently experiencing strained relations following the collapse of Samu Omorodion’s transfer to the Premier League club.

The fallout from this failed deal has also put Conor Gallagher’s potential move to Atletico on hold, with the English midfielder returning to the UK earlier this week.

The breakdown of Omorodion’s transfer has led to renewed discussions between the two clubs regarding Joao Felix. Chelsea is keen to bring Felix back to London on a permanent basis, but Atletico Madrid has rejected their latest offer of €45 million, insisting on their asking price of €60 million.

Atletico Madrid remains frustrated over the Samu deal’s collapse, making it unlikely that they will make any concessions in their negotiations for Felix. The frosty relationship between the clubs could further complicate any potential agreements moving forward.
