Chelsea has acquired the services of Portuguese star Joao Felix from Atletico Madrid for a £46.3 million fee, and in return, Conor Gallagher transferred to Athletico Madrid for £36 million.
The Blues have agreed to a £42m guaranteed payment for Felix and £4.3m in additional payments, with the 24-year-old signing a seven-year deal at Stamford Bridge. Felix spent last season on loan at Barcelona, where he netted ten goals in 44 matches.
Im really happy to be back at Chelsea, and I cant wait to get started. I can see familiar faces from the last time I was here, which is always nice.
I loved my time here before and told my friends and family that Id love to return to the Premier League one day. To do that with Chelsea is a great feeling, and Im excited to be back. Felix said.
Chelsea has made the ex-Benfica player their tenth summer signing, bringing the club's summer spending to £202.6m and making them the Premier Leagues biggest spenders.
