Portuguese "The Golf" reported that the operation to bring João Felix back to Benfica is still in progress, and the negotiation rights have been handed over to Mendes, and the agent is trying to unravel the negotiation deadlock between Benfica and Chelsea.

It is revealed that Mendes will hold talks with Chelsea senior Egbaly, the investor is the core member of the consortium that acquired Chelsea from Abramovich.

Chelsea also urgently hopes to resolve the matter as soon as possible. The primary reason is that 25-year-old Felix is not in the plan of coach Maresca. The club hopes to recover at least part of the investment through the transfer. They paid Atletico Madrid's transfer fee a year ago.

The only viable solution for Chelsea to send Felix away is Benfica, so the Blues are also willing to seek solutions to facilitate permanent transfers, and they reject any loan proposals from beginning to end.

The Premier League giant priced the Portuguese international at 40 million euros, but Benfica was only willing to pay 20 million euros to acquire 50% ownership. Although Benfica may raise the offer slightly, the range is limited. On the other hand, Felix must cut his salary significantly to make the deal come true.
