A few years ago, the potential of Joao Felix was evident to a respected executive, yet the steep asking price of €100m left doubts about his readiness for elite football.
Atletico Madrid took a risk, paying €113m for Felix after his successful season with Benfica, signaling a shift in their style under Diego Simeone.
Despite winning La Liga in 2021 with Atletico, Felix struggled to find his rhythm, leading to his transfer to Chelsea for an initial €50m.
Chelsea's signing of Felix is viewed as a potential homecoming, but previous managers failed to integrate him, raising questions about his fit within the squad.
