He told TBR Football: “I can guarantee that at this time, Thursday night, CHELSEA are still actively working on the Joao Felix and Gallagher story.
“I know it’s a crazy saga, I know it’s gone quiet in the last 24-48 hours and probably – for all parties involved, including agents, players, clubs, directors – is better.
“Including fans, too, because we had too many things happening in the last 10 days on this story.
“It’s been a crazy couple of days with the story, now it’s gone quiet in the media, but behind the scenes the conversations are taking place.
“So I can guarantee that Chelsea are still working on the Joao Felix deal with Atletico Madrid and with the agent of the player, Jorge Mendes.
“Atletico Madrid are still trying to find a way for Conor Gallagher because they want (him), so they are still working on the deal with Chelsea and with the player.”
