Report: Chelsea set shock asking price for current ace amid interest from rival club | OneFootball

Chelsea have set a £60m valuation for Joao Felix with a loan move currently unlikely for the Portugal international according to reports.

The January transfer window is now into the final 48 hours, and Chelsea still have a lot to do before Monday’s deadline.

Whilst the Blues have sold Cesare Casadei they are still looking to find solutions for a number of players, as well as trying to bring at least one new face in.

Chelsea set £60m Felix valuation

Chelsea are looking to find clubs for Ben Chilwell, Carney Chukwuemeka and Axel Disasi, with all three currently attracting interest, although no deals have been agreed.

Another player who could leave before Monday’s deadline is Felix, who has attracted interest from both Aston Villa and Italian club AC Milan.

Despite only signing for Chelsea last summer from Atletico Madrid for £45m, the Blues are believed to be open to offers for the 25-year-old.

Jorge Mendes, who is the agent of Felix is believed to have been in Milan over the weekend speaking to the Italian giants, whilst it’s been reported they have asked for the Portuguese on loan.

Villa were interested in Felix last summer, but he decided to make the switch to Stamford Bridge, with Unai Emery’s side reigniting their interest this window, but a deal between the two clubs is yet to be reached.

Birmingham Mail have now reported that Chelsea have put a £60m price tag on Felix, which is a £15m increase since last summer.

The report adds Villa are not going to pay that in the final hours of the window, so it appears they won’t be landing the former Atletico man.

Felix has only started three league games this season, and doesn’t appear to be a huge part of Enzo Maresca’s plans, but has fared better in the cup competitions.

The attacker has scored seven goals this season, but is playing second fiddle to Cole Palmer, which is unlikely to change over the second half of the season.
