The English Premier League giants signed Joao Felix for a reported transfer fee of\u00a0\u00a346m and sold young midfielder Connor Callagher to the Spanish side for\u00a0\u00a336m in a separate deal.  <!-- \/8323530\/ITv_Desktop_VDO_1X1 -->\n  <\/p>\n<p>The Blues continued their summer spree with their tenth permanent signing of the season in the form of Felix. The Portuguese forward arrived at Atletico Madrid for a club-record transfer fee of\u00a0\u00a3113 million in July 2019 but managed to score just 34 goals in overall 131 appearances.<\/p>\n<p>The 24-year-old forward spent six months on loan at Stamford Bridge in the second half of the 2022-23\u00a0season where he managed to find the back of the nets only four times in 16 league games. He also spent the entire 2023-24 season on a loan with La Liga giants Barcelona.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Felix&#8217;s arrival at the Blues highlights their ruthless spending spree in the summer transfer window. Chelsea became the first and only team to spend over\u00a0\u00a3200 million on player signings in the ongoing window which will end on August 30. Pedro Neto arrived from the Wolverhampton Wanderers in the biggest deal of\u00a0\u00a0\u00a354m for Enzo Maresca&#8217;s side.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chelsea&#8217;s signings in the summer transfer window 2024-25<\/strong>    <\/p>\n<ol>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Tosin Adarabioyo\u00a0&#8211; free transfer from Fulham<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Omari Kellyman &#8211;\u00a0\u00a319m from Aston Villa<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall &#8211;\u00a0\u00a330m from Leicester City<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Marc Guiu &#8211;\u00a0\u00a35m from Barcelona<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Renato Veiga\u00a0 &#8211;\u00a0\u00a312m from Basel<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Caleb Wiley &#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a38m from Atlanta United<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Filip Jorgensen &#8211;\u00a0\u00a321m from Villarreal<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Aaron Anselmino &#8211;\u00a0\u00a316m from Boca Juniors<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Pedro Neto &#8211;\u00a0\u00a354m from Wolverhampton Wanderers<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Joao Felix &#8211;\u00a0\u00a346m from Atletico Madrid<\/li>\n<p>&#13;\n<\/ol>\n<p>Meanwhile, six players, including senior figures Kepa Arrizabgala and Romelu Lukaku also arrived at Stamford Bridge after spending the last season away on a loan.
