Sergio Conceicao reportedly wants Serie A club AC Milan to sign 25-year-old Portuguese international Joao Felix from Chelsea in the winter transfer window.
According to a report by Gazzetta dello Sport, as relayed by Milan Reports, Joao Felix is the subject of interest from AC Milan. Sergio Conceicao is driving the Serie A club’s move for the Chelsea attacker in the winter transfer window. The Portuguese tactician shares the same agent as the former Atletico Madrid forward, and the Rossoneri will attempt to secure a loan deal this month.
Joao Felix and his Chelsea woes
Joao Felix has been in and out of the starting lineup since joining Chelsea from Atletico Madrid in a deal worth €52 million in the summer transfer window. The player had reached a crossroads after embarking on two loan spells in the 18 months leading to that window, with one of those stints coming with Chelsea.
However, the 25-year-old has not been the undisputed first-choice starter for Chelsea, with Enzo Maresca preferring him for cup games and the UEFA Europa Conference League. Felix has not even completed 1,000 minutes of game time across 19 appearances in all competitions, although he has a decent tally of seven goals and two assists.
Despite his struggles for regular game time, Felix’s stock in the market remains high. The Chelsea attacker is a target for AC Milan, with Sergio Conceicao pushing the Serie A club to secure the services of the Portuguese international in the winter transfer window. However, the Rossoneri can only afford a loan deal for the former Atletico Madrid forward.
Serie A move on the horizon?
AC Milan’s interest in Joao Felix is understandable. The Serie A giants have been scouring the market for a versatile attacker heading into the winter transfer window. While Christian Pulisic has been exceptional thus far this term, his partners in the final third have blown hot and cold. So, AC Milan can do with a new forward.
Marcus Rashford was thus a top target for AC Milan before Felix emerged on the Italian club’s radar. The Portuguese international’s €4.5 million-a-year wages make him a more attractive and financially viable target for the Rossoneri as they look to sign him on a loan deal until the end of hte 2024/25 season, including a purchase option in the proposal.
Recent reports have claimed that the 25-year-old forward has been weighing up his Chelsea future heading into the winter transfer window. However, it will be interesting to see if Chelsea will accept a loan deal for Felix this month.
