Transfer: Joao Felix Rejoins Chelsea From Atlético Madrid

Chelsea have signed Portuguese forward João Félix from Atlético Madrid for around £45 million, with English midfielder Conor Gallagher moving to the Spanish club for approximately £33 million.

Félix, 24, has signed a seven-year contract, marking his return to Stamford Bridge after scoring four goals in 20 appearances during a loan spell in 2023.

“I’m really happy to be back at Chelsea and I can’t wait to get started,” said Felix. “I can see some familiar faces from the last time I was here, which is always nice.”

Gallagher, meanwhile, has signed a five-year contract with the Spanish top-flight club.

Having joined Chelsea at the age of six, Gallagher made 90 appearances and scored 10 goals.

With his contract at Stamford Bridge set to expire next summer, Chelsea opted to sell him now to avoid losing him on a free transfer.

“To everyone at Chelsea, thank you for making my dreams come true,” Gallagher wrote on Instagram. “It’s been an absolute honour every time I put on the shirt, and it was a dream come true to captain the team on many occasions.

“I loved every moment. These memories will last forever. I appreciate all the love and support from the fans.”
