Chelsea loaned João Félix to AC Milan till the end of the current campaign. Although the 25-year-old only paid €52 million to join the London club last summer, he hasn’t played frequently under Enzo Maresca. Although Felix has only made sporadic appearances for Chelsea in the English Premier League, he scored four goals in five Europa Conference League games. Because AC Milan won the competition for the Portuguese international, Chelsea has also opted to let Felix go on loan.
Aston Villa showed a lot of interest, but Felix has joined the Serie A team and was present at the San Siro on Sunday for their derby draw against Inter Milan. It’s known that Milan has a buyout option in the deal, and Felix wasn’t satisfied with his minutes. The entire package will cost more than €5 million over the course of six months, and the Rossoneri are anticipated to pay the Portuguese attacker’s entire wage. Felix has just arrived in Italy and is awaiting the formal news. He might make an appearance in Wednesday night’s Coppa Italia matchup against Roma.
João Félix joins AC Milan from Chelsea
Felix’s agent, the influential Jorge Mendes, has played a key role in orchestrating the deal. Mendes also represents Milan’s manager, Sergio Conceicao, which has helped facilitate the move. With a loan move to Milan now almost certain, Felix looks set to reignite his career in Serie A, where he will be looking for more regular game time and an opportunity to shine on the European stage.
As Felix bids farewell to Chelsea, his focus now shifts to proving himself at AC Milan, where he hopes to make a lasting impact and help the club achieve its goals. Fans of both clubs will be watching closely as this transfer saga reaches its conclusion.
