Chelsea are reportedly willing to offer Atletico Madrid two stars in a swap deal that could see them sign Joao Felix on a permanent deal.

Felix has been a revelation since moving to Stamford Bridge during the January transfer window on a short-term loan that will keep him in the Premier League until the end of the season.

According to Metro UK, the Blues spent around £16 million to bring the Portugal international to the Premier League.

Felix was a mainstay figure during Graham Potter's stint at the club but has played a less prominent role since the arrival of Frank Lampard, who took charge as the caretaker boss after Potter was sacked.

Chelsea keen to keep Felix

Be that as it may, reports suggest Chelsea are keen to have Felix continue at the club beyond this summer.

Evening Standard reports that the west Londoners want to extend the forward's stay and have opened talks with Atletico over a potential deal.

It is understood that Atletico are demanding a fee in the region of €100 million for Felix but would still allow the ex-Benfica ace to depart on loan.

Chelsea, meanwhile, are said to be looking to land the Portuguese star on a permanent basis and are exploring ways they could have his price tag lowered.

It is believed that the 2021 Champions League champions are open to allowing two of their players in the shape of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Marc Cucurella move to Atletico as part of the deal.

Both Cucurella and Aubameyang have fallen out of favour at Stamford Bridge, with the latter failing to make an impact since he signed for the club from Barcelona last summer.
