Chelsea Revives Interest in Joao Felix Transfer After Samu Omorodion Deal Collapse

Chelsea is reassessing their transfer strategy after negotiations with Atletico Madrid for striker Samu Omorodion broke down, despite a £34.5 million transfer fee being agreed upon. The collapse of the deal has led the club to explore alternative options, including a potential reunion with forward Joao Felix.

Meanwhile, Chelsea is also considering a move for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, who recently handed in a transfer request. The Blues had previously discussed a potential swap deal involving Romelu Lukaku, and Osimhen's desire to leave Italy this summer has reignited interest in the Nigerian forward. However, Osimhen's release clause of €130m may pose a significant challenge for Chelsea.

The club's hesitation regarding the Omorodion deal was reportedly due to concerns over the transfer fee and the possibility of securing a more suitable striker. With the transfer window still open, Chelsea is expected to ramp up their efforts to sign a top-tier striker, with Osimhen and Felix emerging as prime targets. The coming days will be crucial in determining the direction of Chelsea's transfer strategy.
