As reported by journalist Fabrizio Romano, the deal was agreed despite the fact that Felix came to the club of Atletico Madrid for £ 46.3 million only six months ago. Felix only made three Premier League-Start in the 2024-25 season under Manager Enzo Maresca who decided to let him leave.
“João Félix to AC Milan, here we go! Official offer accepted by Chelsea for a straight loan without purchase option.
“Salary covered by AC Milan and package of more than £ 5 million with loan costs.
“João is now set to AC Milan Medical after its green light to the move last night.”
Felix has left on his Stamford Bridge contract for six and a half years, but it is unlikely that he will get the playing time he will soon need under the Italian head coach. The Portuguese striker is said to be still in London, but is about to travel to Milan to undergo medical tests and sign his contract with the Rossoneri.
At the beginning of January Maresca confirmed why Felix has hardly been seen since his arrival from Atletico Madrid.
“The only thing I have said since the beginning is that it is difficult to play games with so many attacking players,” the Chelsea boss told reporters.
“If Joao plays, this means that Cole does not play, or if Joao plays, he has to play with Cole, but it depends on the game.
“For me it is fairly simple, we have three players who are more or less comparable, Joao and Cole and Christo.”
Maresca continued: “Joao played a few games, Christo played, they both played against Ipswich, they both played Southampton and Leicester. In some games we can play with them all, but not every game. “
