Fabrizio Romano has made it clear that AC Milan have no plans to keep Joao Felix beyond the end of the current season.
Felix arrived on a dry loan deal from Chelsea and after impressing on his debut against Roma – even scoring a goal with a lovely chip – it has been a tale of steady decline for the forward.
When he signed from the Blues there were numerous reports outlining Milan’s intention to try and explore a permanent deal, and yet now it feels certain that his days in red and black are numbered.
Fabrizio Romano has given an update on his X profile: “AC Milan and João Félix won’t continue together beyond this season after loan deal from Chelsea. Feeling from beginning of March again confirmed now, with João expected to return to Chelsea. CFC will assess the situation in the summer to find a potential new club.”
The most recent disappointment came in the big game against title-chasing Napoli on Sunday night when Felix started on the left wing over Rafael Leao, a decision from Sergio Conceicao that has drawn a lot of criticism.
Joao’s agent Jorge Mendes is already believed to be looking to the future has begun to explore the idea of a move to Galatasaray, with both parties being open to the idea currently.
Mendes is pulling the strings behind the scenes…keep Leao on the bench, make him disgruntled and let me move him on this summer…why choose Felix over Sottil for the LW…why not play Puli as LW and have Chuk who is a natural winger on the RW. I have always said that the biggest concern with Fonse and Conce is their tendency to play players out of position. Messing up the team balance even further.
This is our season right here, players out of natural position, weird starting lineups.
Fonseca always took too long to make substitutions. Couldn’t read a game in real time. Unrealistic love for Emerson and Loftus.
Conceicao always gets the starting lineup wrong. No identity. Unrealistic love for Musah and Felix.
Milan play best when they ignore the coaching tactics and go for goal, usually in the last 30 mins or so when they losing. It’s amazing the difference in play from the first 45 to the second 45.
…and yet Conceicao starts him
