In a video posted on Twitter, spotted by Sports Brief, Felix was filmed by El Chiringuito TV as the passenger in a black Mercedes as he made his journey to complete the transfer.

According to The Athletic, a verbal agreement has already been reached between the involved parties, although a deal is yet to be reached.

The Blues are expected to pay around €11 million (£9.7m) after beating off competition from Premier League rivals Arsenal and Man Utd.

Felix’s career has recently slowed down at Atletico, although he shone with Portugal at the World Cup.

He was reportedly attracted to Chelsea more than any other club because he liked the project the club is building.

Felix's stunning girlfriend who he has been dating since 2019, according to reports.

The young lovers met on social media, and with the help of mutual friends, they were eventually able to physically meet up and the rest is history.

She is more than a pretty face as Corceiro is a successful actress who has starred in several soap operas.

In 2020, she famously starred in the Portuguese version of Dancing with the Stars.

Man United linked with move for Atletico star

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Manchester United are considering a January transfer move for Atletico Madrid star Joao Felix.

The Red Devils are expected to enter the market for a new centre forward to take the place of Cristiano Ronaldo who recently departed the club.

Ronaldo's contract with United was ripped apart with a few months left on it after his explosive interview with Piers Morgan.
