About the transfer market, according to a report revealed by 'O Jogo', Joao Félix would leave Atlético de Madrid to reinforce Manchester City, while his vacancy at the Wanda Metropolitano would be filled by Benfica striker Darwin Núñez.
The team coached by Pep Guardiola would be willing to pay 70 million euros for the 22-year-old player, who still has a lot of faith in his projection and growth potential.
Chelsea most recently played an away EFL Cup clash against Tottenham which was a 1-0 win. Antonio Ruediger was the goalscorer at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Meanwhile, about transfer market news, Chelsea’s defense is in trouble due to the potential departures of César Azpilicueta, Antonio Rudiger, and Andreas Christensen, whose contracts expire in June. The Spaniard points to arrive at Barcelona, the German to Real Madrid, although the negotiations are not going well and the Danish to Borussia Dortmund or Barcelona.
