Chelsea told to sell Mount and Pulisic to fund permanent move for this player

Former Premier League star Frank Leboeuf has advised Chelsea to sell Mason Mount and Christian Pulisic in the summer in order to fund a permanent move for Joao Felix.

Recall that Chelsea signed Felix on loan from Spanish club Atletico Madrid in January.

He is, however, expected to return to Spain at the end of his season as his deal does not include an option to buy permanently.

Felix has also signed a one-year contract extension at Madrid.

But Leboeuf sees him as the ‘most dangerous player’ at Stamford Bridge and wants the Blues to do everything possible to keep him.

Mount has refused to extend his contract at Stamford Bridge and has been linked with moves to Liverpool and Manchester United, who are monitoring his situation at Chelsea.

“Joao Felix is a great player,” ex-Chelsea defender Leboeuf told ESPN

“I think he’s the most dangerous player, the most entertaining player, the most artistic player at Chelsea right now.

“Hopefully Chelsea will be able to sell a few players – maybe Pulisic and Mount – and can then get Felix on a permanent basis.”
