Chelsea reject Felix offered to Newcastle

Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix could be heading straight back to England this summer.

The Portugal attacker was expecting to sign a permanent contract with Chelsea after a half-season loan spell.

However, Felix did not show enough form to convince Chelsea to spend huge money on him.

Per The Sun, Felix has now been offered to Newcastle United, given he has a poor relationship with Atleti boss Diego Simeone.

The Magpies would see Felix as the kind of young and exciting attacker that manager Eddie Howe can improve.

However, the club does have to consider Financial Fair Play when it comes to new signings.
