Felix was from Benfica Youth Training and transferred to Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2019. Benfica has made a €20 million offer to Chelsea, and Chelsea will retain 50% of the player's future transfer fee. In addition, Felix himself is willing to significantly reduce his salary in order to return to Portugal.
