Chelsea face a massive outlay if they want to keep hold of Joao Felix.

Mundo Deportivo says Atletico Madrid want 124million to allow Felix to leave for good in the summer transfer window.

The Portuguese attacker is currently on loan at Chelsea - but, crucially, the Premier League side do not hold an option-to-buy upon its expiry.

Now, Atletico have Felix, their all-time record buy, valued at 124m, or else he is set to stay in the Spanish capital.

Felix and Atletico boss Diego Simeone have seen their relationship deteriorate in the past 12 months and the MD report goes on to add that should Simeone remain in charge, Felix has no intention of staying with Atletico.

Atletico, who are sitting fourth in LaLiga right now, 18 points adrift of leaders Barcelona, are said to be planning ahead for next season, but much hinges on whether Felix stays or goes.
