According to emerging reports, Chelsea are exploring a bold swap deal involving João Félix as part of a package to sign Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyökeres this summer. ⌛🔄
🔵 What’s Happening:
Chelsea have renewed their interest in Gyökeres, who netted over 40 goal contributions last season.
To sweeten the deal and reduce the cash burden, the Blues are proposing to include João Félix, who is expected to return to Atlético Madrid following his loan stint at Barcelona.
🇵🇹 Why This Could Work:
Sporting manager Rúben Amorim is said to admire João Félix’s technical ability, and the Portuguese forward fits Sporting’s profile for creativity in the final third.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are desperate to land a clinical No.9, and see Gyökeres as the ideal physical and prolific striker to lead their attack under Enzo Maresca.
⚠️ No Agreement Yet:
Negotiations are still at an exploratory stage, and it remains to be seen whether Atlético and Sporting are both on board.
Sporting would still demand a significant fee, even with João Félix included, as Gyökeres has a release clause reportedly near €100m.
📌 Keep an eye on this — a creative solution from Chelsea could unlock one of the summer’s
biggest striker moves.
