JAKARTA - Chelsea officially announced the arrival of Joao Felix from Atletico Madrid. The player was recruited on loan until the end of the season.

Information about Felix's arrival was officially announced through the club's official website. "The Portuguese striker Joao Felix will be part of the Chelsea squad until the end of this season," Chelsea said in a statement.

Even though they only have a loan status, Chelsea still has to spend money. The Blues reportedly paid 10 million euros (equivalent to Rp166 billion) to borrow the player for half a season.

Interestingly, there is no purchase option in the loan contract. In addition, Felix has also just extended his contract until 2027 with the Spanish La Liga club.

He is the fourth player Chelsea brought in in the half-season transfer market. Previously there were Andrey Santos (from Vasco da Gama), Benoit Badiamile (US Monaco) and David Datro Fofana (Molde).

In total, Chelsea has spent 72.5 million euros or around IDR 1.2 trillion.

This number is predicted to increase. The reason is, The Blues still have a number of names to bring in.

Pedro Porro who is the full back of Sporting CP is one of the members on the list. The player is ready to be brought in with a dowry of 42 million euros.

Then there was Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham, who was priced at around 113 million euros. In addition, Declan Rice from West Ham, which is priced at 99 million euros, is also in shot.

Getlia Chelsea in the transfer market this winter certainly makes Premier League English giants jealous. Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United look cool.
