Joao Felix has returned to Chelsea for a second spell with the Blues after spending time on loan with the Premier League side during the 2022–23 season.

Chelsea Football Club unveiled the Portuguese signing who left Atlético Madrid on Wednesday after he signed a six-year deal with an option for one more and a fee thought to be in the region of £45.5 million (€53m/$59m).

A statement on the club’s website on Wednesday confirmed the transfer.

It reads, “João, an established forward for the Portugal national team, has signed a seven-year contract at Stamford Bridge and will join his new teammates for training in the coming days.”

João Félix said: “Chelsea is a chance for me to find a home after two loans, Chelsea and Barca. I needed to stay permanently in one place. There is no better place for me to be than Chelsea.

“I see a perfect place to shine.”
