According to the latest report of the famous Spanish sports media "As", the potential introduction of Juventus to Chelsea striker Sterling is quietly becoming a key factor affecting whether Felix can return to Stamford Bridge. This complex transfer chain reaction not only reveals the subtle dynamics of the transfer market in the European soccer world, but also highlights once again the complexity of the game of interests between clubs.
Felix's path back to the club is becoming clearer and generating a lot of interest. The Portuguese prodigy joined Chelsea on a short loan spell in the 2022/23 season, and although he failed to show his full potential, his agility and talent on the pitch was still impressive. Now, with Atletico Madrid planning to reorganize their squad, Felix is no longer in Simeone's blueprint for the future, making a return to the Premier League much more likely.
Juventus, as the "catalyst" of this series of transfers, is actively seeking to strengthen its forward line. Sterling, the English winger who has been the target of many European giants, has naturally become one of their targets. Juventus hope that the introduction of Sterling to enhance the team's offensive firepower, while Chelsea may thus get the opportunity to free up salary space, thus paving the way for the return of Felix.
It is worth noting that Juventus in the pursuit of Sterling at the same time, but also did not give up on the investigation of other strikers, including Sancho, Berardi and Francesco Conceição and so on its list of attraction. However, Juventus for Sterling as high as 12 million euros per year salary appears to be more cautious, they prefer to loan a year to complete the transaction. This may be an acceptable compromise for Chelsea, as Sterling's contract with the team is still quite long and his Premier League appearances last season have been reduced.
