One Chelsea star who joined the club only in summer has moved away from Stamford Bridge. He has finally agreed a deal with other club after very short stay at West London.
The star in question here is Joao Felix who the Blues signed in summer. The West London club paid £43 million to secure the signature of the 25 year old. But, the Portugese star has struggled to play regularly under Maresca.
Felix has played 20 games but only 12 of them are from Premier League. In addition, he has started only 3 of them. The 25 year old has scored 7 goals and picked 2 assists and has been very good for Chelsea. However, he still finds himself below other stars in pecking order.
Felix has been linked with away transfer after just half season. He has been linked with many top clubs. There were reports that the 25 year old opts to stay at West London to have stable career. However, it seems like he fancies a new challenge.
Joao Felix moves away from Chelsea
Fabrizio Romano has reported that AC Milan have secure the services of Joao Felix. It will be a loan move and there will be no option to buy at the end of the season. This suggests that Felix can still have more to his career in Blue jersey.
Milan will pay the loan fee to Chelsea and they will cover the player’s salary as well. The Blues will earn around £5 million as loan fee. The 25 year old gave green light to Italian giants last night and will now complete his medicals in Milan.
As reported above there will be no buy clause in the contract. It seems like Chelsea want to keep hold of Felix but the player wants to play more consistently. Milan have already benefitted from signing Chelsea players in the past. It will be interesting to see what this deal brings to the table.
