Chelsea may face competition from Manchester United for the permanent signing of Joao Felix this summer. After enjoying his loan spell at Stamford Bridge despite the Blues’ poor form, the Portuguese forward looks set to try to force his way out of Atletico Madrid ahead of next season.
Felix has only scored two goals in 12 appearances for Chelsea since his January arrival, but his overall performance has been impressive. The 23-year-old will return to Atletico Madrid in the summer, but he is expected to try to force another move away from Spain, with Chelsea hoping to agree a permanent deal.
United are looking for a new center-forward after Cristiano Ronaldo left the club before the World Cup, and his Portuguese compatriot could be the man. At Old Trafford, Erik ten Hag has a number of underperforming attackers, including Anthony Martial, Wout Weghorst, Jadon Sancho, and Antony.According to Football Insider
Felix may prioritize a move to Stamford Bridge after an impressive loan spell in the second half of the 2022/23 season, but there are some factors to consider before committing to a permanent move to west London. There has yet to be an announcement about a new permanent manager, with Frank Lampard serving as caretaker manager until the end of the season.

A new manager may not want to sign Felix at all, which means that other clubs may be able to sign the 23-year-old. Another factor that may prevent Chelsea from signing the Portugal international is the expected arrival of Christopher Nkunku from RB Leipzig.
