Joao Felix could return to Chelsea as Samu Omorodion's move collapses

There is no quiet summer in the offices of the Metropolitano. This could be the perfect phrase to sum up the number of obstacles and problems that Atletico Madrid always have when it comes to signings in the transfer market.

As 'Relevo' pointed out, the signing of Samu Omorodion by Chelsea has collapsed. The reason is that the Spanish striker has not satisfactorily passed the medical with the Blues.

The medical tests were carried out just after he was proclaimed Olympic champion with Spain in a match where he did not play a single minute due to physical problems. In fact, he was in the stands and that would be the main obstacle for the Londoners to back out.

Moreover, Samu Omorodion himself would be back in Spain to join the Atletico squad. However, both the 'Colchoneros' and Chelsea are in permanent contact in search of a solution.

It was a complicated situation, as the Blues seemed to be sure that they were not going to sign Omorodion. Then, as Fabrizio Romano reported, the option of Joao Felix's return emerged. The arrival of the Portuguese at Stamford Bridge was put on the table. Even his agent, Jorge Mendes, was in London to negotiate an agreement for his representative and thus unblock the operation.
