“One of them to leave” – Two Chelsea stars could be gone if Chelsea sign Joao Felix – Romano confirms
Chelsea’s transfer market took a wild turn on Sunday night, and it was necessary to stay alert to keep up with it all.
Atletico Madrid and Chelsea are currently involved in some crazy circumstances that have resulted in the collapse of Chelsea’s contract for Samu Omorodion in the last minute and the temporary stalling of Conor Gallagher’s move to Atletico. Although the latter is still anticipated, Chelsea will likely still need to sign an Atletico player in exchange as part of an unofficial trade.
With Omorodion off the menu now seemingly, Chelsea have turned to former player Joao Felix who they had on loan under Thomas Tuchel not long back. They also had a chance to re-sign him last season as well but it looks like Mauricio Pochettino said no to that at the time.
Sterling expected to leave
29-year-old winger Raheem Sterling is expected to leave should Chelsea sign Felix, that is according to Fabrizio Romano on his latest Playback show.
Romano says: “I think Noni Madueke can leave if they receive a good proposal. Raheem Sterling would be expected to leave if Felix signs.”
This would be a crazy end to the transfer window for Chelsea and seemingly they would need Sterling’s wages off the books to allow for Felix to come in.
In makes you wonder now what today is going to bring in terms of Chelsea transfer drama!
