Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Chelsea and Atlético Madrid are nearing a final agreement for the transfer of Joao Félix and Conor Gallagher.

According to Romano's latest update, a positive round of talks took place, with Félix verbally agreeing to the contract terms to join Maresca's side.

"Joao says yes to contract terms." This crucial breakthrough brings the deal one step closer to completion.

Romano also set the record straight regarding the transfer fee, debunking rumors of a €60m fixed fee for Félix: "Rumours on €60m fixed fee for Félix are not true."
