Finally, Chelsea has reached a deal with ATM on the signing of Joao Felix on a six years contract with a 12 months optional addition. I think this is no bad signing, at this time Chelsea really need a striker with a goal scoring capacity. I am suspecting that there loss to Manchester City yesterday must have fast tracked this deal. But the question now is that, does this cancels Chelsea's further interest on Victor Osimhen of Napoli whose future has been that of contention between Chelsea and PSG.

Another bad signing by Chelsea, Joao Felix proves nothing when he was play for Chelsea and Barcelona, which make his market value drop, Chelsea want to sign him. Signing a player just because the price cheaper than before is wrong. I expect Felix will become nobody in Chelsea and Chelsea will try to sell him since they have too many players.

If Chelsea choose to not sign Osimhen, they should give Lukaku a chance.

.
Joao Felix isn't a terrible player and he could do well enough for them, they have seen what he can do and they decided to get him. He was at Barcelona last season and he did alright during the time he played, which means that Chelsea knows what they are getting with him.

Plus, paying just 40 million euro for him isn't really a lot, Chelsea is a rich club and 40 million is nothing to them, so this is going to be great. And if they worry about financial fair play, they did a six year contract, which means it's like 6.5 million a year or so hit on the cap, and they should not be really worrying about that part too much.

Joao Felix isn't really a terrible buy per say but what I understand about people's dismay about his transfer fee to Chelsea is due to his poor performance while he was on loan in Chelsea before later going to play for Barcelona. Even in the just concluded Euros there was no much of an improvement either. However, coming back to Chelsea he now has the opportunity to work on his lapses improve his standard and be more creative than the last time he was there.
