Maurico Pochettino does not want Chelsea to make Joao Felix’s move to Stamford Bridge permanent as he makes his first big call as Blue’s boss.
Pochettino has made his first big call as Chelsea boss and decided he does not want to keep Felix beyond this end of his loan deal with the Blues. The Portuguese star showed flashes of what he is capable of after recovering from a red card just 60 minutes into his debut but has ultimately failed to do enough to impress the incoming manager.
After Marca broke the news, Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo confirmed the Portuguese attacker would be returning to Spain. He said: “The truth is that I can’t tell you the plan with Joao. It’s the news we had yesterday, that the new coach doesn’t have him for Chelsea. We don’t have anything planned yet, Joao is an Atlético player now.”
