Chelsea are out the Champions League and 11th in the Premier League meaning European football is extremely unlikely to be played at Stamford Bridge next season.
Following their nearly £600 million splurge over this season, Todd Boehly may need to be more prudent with his spending this summer.
Therefore, it leaves big question marks over whether Chelsea will make their move for João Félix permanent.
The Portugese forward has shown flashes of brilliance but he has ultimately been somewhat underwhelming.
So given the west London club’s finances and Félix’s disappointing performances, the forward’s future is very unclear.

Atlético Madrid are concerned by the performances of João Félix in west London, claim Cadena SER.
Since his departure, Diego Simeone’s side have significantly improved and there is a desire to sell him.
Los Rojiblancos signed him for €127 million but they are willing to accept around €80 million.
With Chelsea unlikely to make the deal permanent, Newcastle United are now seen as their only hope to sell Félix.
The Tyneside club asked about the Portugese before he moved to Chelsea on loan and they could be an option again.
