Chelsea have agreed to extend Nathan’s loan deal with Atletico Mineiro, according to claims from Brazil today.

Outlet O Tempo says a deal between the clubs has just been reached, and should be announced in the coming days.

Nathan has been loaned to the Brazilian side since 2018. He’s been renewing the deal since then, and the current spell was about to expire this month.

Chelsea and Atlético have been negotiating an extension since the start of the year, and O Tempo doesn’t seem to know for how long he’s staying this time.

Contacted by O Tempo, Atlético Mineiro have refused to comment on the negotiations with Chelsea, claiming there are no updates on the situation. Nathan’s staff also sent a generic message.

“Nathan is very happy at Atlético and focused on having a great season, but leaving contractual issues with his managers.”

Nathan was signed by the Blues in 2015, but never had a chance to make his debut for the club. This is his fourth loan spell, following his time at Vitesse, Amiens, and Belenenses.
