Chelsea are set to complete the signing of Joao Felix from Atletico Madrid for a fixed fee of £44.5 million, according to David Ornstein.
Felix had a decent loan spell with Barcelona last season, but the La Liga giants decided against pursuing a permanent move for him.
The 24-year-old is now expected to join the Blues on a permanent transfer. They have agreed to pay £44.5 million without any add-ons.
Felix has already undergone his medical tests at the west London giants and he could formally sign a six-year contract in the coming hours.
The Portuguese star previously had a six-month loan spell with the Blues last year, but he managed only four goals from 20 appearances.
He struggled to adapt to the pace of the Premier League, but now has the chance to make amends, having secured a permanent switch.
Felix could make his debut for the Blues during Sunday's league game against Wolves. He could be introduced to the fans during the midweek Conference League first leg play-off against Servette.
