Pochettino Makes Final Decision On Keeping Joao Felix At Chelsea

Former Paris Saint-Germain boss, Mauricio Pochettino has reportedly decided he wants to keep forward Joao Felix at Chelsea and pair him with Romelu Lukaku.

The Sun reports that Felix is likely to remain with Chelsea for another season despite his loan expiring in the summer.

It is believed that the Portugal international will sign on loan from Atletico Madrid for another season.

This will cost Chelsea £18 million in fees in addition to his £250,000 a week wages.

Felix arrived at Chelsea from Atletico Madrid in January on loan until the end of the season for £9 million.

No option to buy was inserted into his deal and the 23-year-old signed a one-year extension with the La Liga giants before the move.

However, Felix still looks likely to stay with Chelsea, although that decision will be down to Pochettino.

Pochettino is expected to become Graham Potter’s permanent successor at Chelsea.

The Argentine could be set to partner Felix with Lukaku, who has been out on loan at Inter Milan.
