Atlético Madrid are reportedly prepared to lower their asking price for Chelsea loanee João Félix.
The Portuguese attacker joined Chelsea on a short-term loan in January but could be sold permanently if both sides and the player agree and the right price is paid.
Although there was no option or obligation to buy included in the deal, with Atletico giants looking to raise funds to balance their books and reinvest in the squad, Chelsea will have the opportunity to negotiate a fee with the La Liga club.

According to a report by The Athletic, Diego Simeone’s side want around €90m in the summer for the player. The Spanish club bought the 23-year-old for €127.20 million in 2019 but are keen to take him off the wage bill to balance their books.
Chelsea are happy with how Felix has performed since joining the club in January and will be willing to keep him permanently. But that will depend on whether they can sell some players and balance the books.
