Totally respectable - Atletico Madrid star believes Joao Felix will return to club after Chelsea loan spell

Joao Felix could return to Atletico Madrid.

Atletico Madrid captain Koke expects Joao Felix to return to the club once his loan expires at Chelsea. The Portuguese attacker is on loan at the Blues until the end of the season.

Felix joined Graham Potters side in January, with the Premier League club paying Atletico €11 million to seal the deal. He had fallen down the pecking order under Diego Simeone at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium. The Portuguese started just seven of 14 league games with Los Colchoneros before heading to Stamford Bridge.

There has been a feeling thatChelseawill look to sign Felix permanently in the summer. He has enjoyed a prominent role with the Blues, scoring one goal in eight games across competitions. However, Koke has hinted that he expects his teammate to return to Atleti. He told Mundo Deportivo when asked about the loanee and Matheus Cunha (who joined Wolverhampton Wanderers on loan in January):

They were important players within the team. They made the decision to leave. Joao transferred and Cunha transferred. They are decisions of each one. Totally respectable. Joao is picking up the rhythm of the games, he is gaining confidence for the coming season to come back here. And to Cunha wish him all the best.
