Stamford Bridge, where he contributed seven goals and two assists from 20 appearances.<\/p>\n<p>Although a transfer fee has not been revealed, Fabrizio Romano has <a

in transfer fees this summer?<\/p>\n<p>Felix becomes the latest high-profile name to leave Chelsea, following the likes of Kepa Arrizabalaga, Djordje Petrovic, Bashir Humphreys, Mathis Amougou and Noni Madueke.<\/p>\n<p>Officially, a total of \u00a388.5m had been generated before Felix&#8217;s sale, taking Chelsea up to somewhere in the region of \u00a3113m.<\/p>\n<p>That is not including the undisclosed transfer fee from Amougou&#8217;s sale to Strasbourg, which is plausibly likely to be a similar fee to the \u00a312m that Chelsea paid in February.<\/p>\n<p>Undisclosed fees were also registered for the sales of Marcus Bettinelli, Zak Sturge and Harry Rodda, realistically taking Chelsea to somewhere between \u00a3125m to \u00a3130m in money
