Chelsea transfer news: Todd Boehly faces a major decision in the summer transfer window, with Manchester United swooping a potential target
"Playing in the Champions League is an important decision," Felix said when asked about whether the competition may sway any transfer in the coming months. "But the future no one knows, so let’s see what happens and then we’ll see.”
There remains uncertainty over whether a permanent move will be made in the summer though, with dilemmas over the price tag that Atleti may set along with questions over whether the 23-year-old would want a return. Should the Blues fail to make their move, their rivals could be set to swoop.
That's because AS reports that Manchester United are also eyeing a permanent switch for Felix if the west London outfit don't commit to a deal. Discussing the move to the Spanish outlet, reporter Sergio Picos said: "Manchester United has always been that club that has been there to watch, that has asked about him.
“Since the departure of Cristiano you don’t have a big name up front either. That number 7 that Cristiano Ronaldo wore at Manchester United might not be a bad fit for the Portuguese.”
Felix has always been synonymous with Ronaldo, given the pair play for the same national team, with plenty believing his potential could see him take the reigns from him. The forward is yet to kick on and do exactly that though, but there's still plenty of time for him to find a similar progression to the top level.
