      The Blues had the option to make the forward’s move permanent but new manager Mauricio Pochettino opted against it amid a major squad overhaul at Stamford Bridge.
      According to the Daily Mail, the Portugal international is still set to leave Atletico due to his strained relationship with Simeone.
      And the 23-year-old hinted that Turkey could be his next destination after linking up with Galatasaray on social media.
      And the Turkish champions’ president Dursun Ozbek strongly suggested a deal could be on the cards.

      Ozbek told Mundo Deportivo: “The fact that Joao Felix is following Galatasaray shows how important Galatasaray is.”
      Felix has fallen out of favour in Madrid but Atletico are still not going to let him go on the cheap.

      Therefore, another loan deal appears likelier as Atleti are keen to recoup a lion share of the £113million they splashed for him in 2019.
      That is despite CEO Miguel Angel Gil Marin strongly hinting recently that the ex-Benfica star will be leaving Atletico.

      Gil Marin said: “Felix is the biggest bet the club has ever made.
      “I think he’s a high-performance player, one of the best in the world, but, for reasons that it’s not worth naming now, the relationship between him and the coach is not good, nor is his motivation.
      “I would love for it to continue, but that is not the player’s intention.” More

      The Inter Milan shot-stopper is set to face Manchester City in the Champions League final on Saturday.

      And according to reports, the former Spurs boss is already in the process of trying to entice two players to West London.
      L’Equipe claim the Blues have reached out to Italian giants AC Milan about the availability of goalkeeper Mike Maignan.
      Pochettino is said to be unsatisfied with current Chelsea keepers Edouard Mendy and Kepa Arrizabalaga and has identified Maignan as a potential new No1.
      Milan, however, are said to have no intention of parting company with the France international.

      And it’s claimed the Rossoneiri will only consider selling the 27-year-old if they receive a mammoth offer for his services.
      Pochettino is also said to have reached out to his former club Southampton about signing midfielder Romeo Lavia.
      That’s according to Football London, who claim the 51-year-old has identified the Belgium international as a replacement for N’Golo Kante.

      Chelsea will likely look to secure Lavia’s services for a cut-price fee following Saints’ relegation to the Premier League last month.
      Southampton, however, are said to want a whopping £50million for the teenager.
      Pochettino will likely be given a huge war chest this summer to overhaul his squad and improve on their woeful 12th-placed finish this season.
      Blues co-owner Todd Boehly has spared no expense since taking the club off Roman Abramovich’s hands last year.
      And the American is confident Pochettino is the man to turn this club’s fortunes around.
      In a joint statement with fellow owners Behdad Eghbali, Jose E. Feliciano, Mark Walter and Hansjorg Wyss, he said: “The sporting team conducted a diligent and thoughtful process that the Board is proud of.

      Mike Maignan shared a cryptic Instagram post after Paolo Maldini’s exit
      Maignan’s future at Milan is currently up in the air following a turbulent few days at the San Siro.
      The dismissal of technical director and club legend Paolo Maldini after four years in the role has angered several key players.
      Theo Hernandez, Sandro Tonali, Rafael Leao and Maignan are all reportedly disgruntled by the decision, with sporting director Ricky Massara also leaving.
      Maignan now appears to have made his feelings known in a cryptic social media post featuring Maldini.

      He shared a pair of images from his Milan unveiling in 2021, showing the Frenchman holding his shirt and signing his contract next to Maldini.
      Alongside the images, he wrote: “Sempre Milan”, meaning “Always Milan”. He also placed a question mark on the “I” in Milan.
      Football Italia report that Maldini had been set to offer Maignan a new deal prior to his departure.
      His exit has now thrown the 27-year-old’s future into doubt, despite him still having three years left on his current contract.

      The disruption comes as a boost for Chelsea, who have Maignan at the top of their list of goalkeeping targets.
      Maignan caught the eye in his second season in Italy, conceding just 27 goals in 29 appearances across all competitions.
      Mauricio Pochettino wants to sign a new number one this summer, with Andre Onana and David Raya also identified as targets.
      Current Chelsea stoppers Kepa Arrizabalaga and Edouard Mendy were less than impressive last term, leaving doubts over their ability moving forward.

      The Premier League champions are already said to have held advanced talks over signing the Croatia star.
      And the 29-year-old admits he’s open to a move after Chelsea’s “very bad” season.

      And so far the Treble seekers are not seen as in the running for West Ham skipper Declan Rice.

      So recruiting a cheaper, more experienced player with Champions League-winning pedigree makes sense.
      Kovacic, who is on international duty, stirred exit talk with frank comments over the past 24 hours.
      He told Nacional, via the Evening Standard: “I have one more year with Chelsea, this season was very bad.
      “Everything is going towards the fact that after five good years I will change, but in football anything can happen.”

      He softened those remarks only slightly by describing Chelsea as “phenomenal” and revealing he “loved” London as well as Blues’ fans.  More
