Like most Chelsea transfers not too long ago, each out and in, rumours begin out sounding foolish, then get very actual, very quick.
No one believed that Renato Veiga might critically be leaving simply 6 months after we purchased him, for instance. When the concept was first raised 3 weeks in the past it sounded foolish. But right here we’re,
The identical course is being taken by the Joao Felix rumours. He’s one other participant who solely arrived in the summertime, but the preliminary whispers he might go away (which sounded extra like wishful pondering from Chelsea followers at first) have now developed quickly into very severe speak of a departure.

However the numbers required to signal Felix or Duran completely make switch sound very bold for this late within the window.
