Surely, João Félix is one of the players whose decline has been evident in recent years, unable to find his best version at any club. This season, that situation has become much more noticeable, as he hasn't been able to stand out in any of the teams he has already played for. He was signed by Chelsea last summer for about 50 million euros, but he couldn't fit into Enzo Maresca's plans.
Rumors about another departure kept emerging, and his new destination would be AC Milan, where he quickly received the first criticisms from the fans. However, it was a journalist who allegedly delivered a harsh message that could be considered the perfect definition of the Portuguese's career. He has only managed to score one goal since he arrived in Italy, and everything suggests he will be forced to return to England if he can't improve.
João Félix Becomes the Target
The Portuguese international has been unable to recover since he decided to leave Atlético de Madrid on loan in the winter of 2023. At that time, his relationship with Simeone was completely broken, and he wanted to try his luck in a place where the playing style was favorable. Even so, he didn't convince Stamford Bridge, and that same summer, he had to return to the Metropolitano to go on loan again to FC Barcelona.
He also failed to convince Xavi Hernández, returning a second time to the red-and-white team and having to play some preseason friendlies. His time as a "colchonero" would end with the sale to Chelsea for about 50 million euros, but that move hasn't worked either. Now he is at AC Milan, also on loan, but the criticisms are already hovering over the Portuguese with great intensity.
The Strong Message from a Journalist
In recent hours, a firestorm has erupted on social media, as Fabio Ravezzani's words about João Félix have caused much controversy in Italy. "He's as handsome as he is useless," he said about the level the forward is showing in the Serie A, words that have not gone unnoticed. He has only scored one goal with AC Milan, in addition to suffering a tough blow in the Champions League just after arriving at his new club.
They fell in the first leg against Feyenoord (1-0) and were unable to come back against the Dutch team at San Siro, being left out of the round of 16. In that second leg, some boos were already heard for João Félix after making several mistakes on the field, a situation that is familiar to him. It seems difficult for him to stay in Italy, and everything suggests that Chelsea is going to have a serious problem in the summer market.
