Joao Felix has indicated that he wants to make Chelsea his long term home. Graham Potter Opens Door For Permanent Joao Felix Move
The 23-year-old arrived in west London in January on a six-month loan that is costing the Blues £11 million; to keep him there until the 2019–2020 campaign, a fresh fee would need to be negotiated.
Despite his team’s recent struggles in front of goal, the Portugal international has won over many supporters. Felix discussed staying at Stamford Bridge before Chelsea’s crucial Champions League second-leg match against Borussia Dortmund.

In terms of whether or not I want to stay? I don’t think anyone will know in the future,” he remarked. “I’m only focused on the game tomorrow.

“What will happen after that is unknown. I might be present. Everyone in the club is very talented, and this league is amazing, so maybe I could be here.
Yet, he acknowledged that since winning the Champions League next season at Chelsea Bridge was becoming an increasingly remote possibility, European football may have played a role in his choice. “Playing in the Champions League is always crucial,” stated Felix.
Everyone is interested in participating in the competition. But we still have a tonne of games left in the league before we can qualify for the Champions League. It has not ended. But, participation in the Champions League does factor into the choice. But what about later? Nobody is aware. Watch what transpires.
In order to help themselves qualify for the Champions League by winning this year’s championship, Chelsea will ideally need to overcome a 1-0 first-leg loss in Dortmund, and qualification through a top-four finish also seems very unlikely.

He continued, “I really want to win the game tomorrow. “I enjoy taking part in Champions League games. It’s a unique contest. I’m hoping we’ll be here to celebrate in 90 minutes.
Felix joined at Chelsea after a tumultuous spell after falling out with Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone following a club record £113m deal from Benfica in 2019.
Atleti had been in poor form when they allowed Felix to depart but have since won five of their last six games, enhancing the prospects of Simeone continuing in the Spanish capital past the summer. Felix, who has faced difficulties in the past, feels that Chelsea’s style of play is more suited to him.
He continued, “Yeah, I believe I needed this. “When I left Atletico, I assured them that it would be beneficial to both parties. I attempted to close the sale since I was open to trying something new. Although I always gave it my all, sometimes it wasn’t enough. I had the opportunity to observe how things would have changed.
“The team and league are distinct. Chelsea is a side that enjoys attacking and possessing the ball. My favourite game is that one. Indeed, I adore it. I feel really liberated to play here anyway I choose.
