Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has confirmed that Chelsea do not plan to pursue a permanent deal for on-loan forward Joao Felix.

Felix joined Chelsea in January on an expensive six-month loan deal which did not include an option to buy, but club officials had been in negotiations with Atletico to determine the cost of a permanent transfer.

Those talks began while Graham Potter was in charge, however, and with Mauricio Pochettino now in the dugout, the situation has changed and it is the Argentine who has made the final call on Felix's future.
