Simeone already knows the latest on João Félix: surprise decision at Chelsea

The Portuguese forward could be the bomb of the end of the transfer market.

João Félix continues to be a hot topic, even though he is no longer an Atlético de Madrid player. The Portuguese player signed with Chelsea this summer, hoping things would go better for him there than in Spain. However, in this half of the season, he hasn't been an important player for Enzo Maresca and his future may take a new turn.

The Portuguese forward is not at all happy with his situation in London and wants to seek more playing time. That's why his agent, Jorge Mendes, has been hard at work for days, looking for an ideal destination. According to the latest information, that place could be Italy. 

AC Milan on the prowl

Since his permanent arrival at Chelsea, Félix hasn't managed to establish himself as an undisputed starter. He has been relegated to the bench on numerous occasions, starting only three times in the Premier League during the first half of the season. This situation has caused concern both for the player and his entourage, leading his agent, Jorge Mendes, to explore possible destinations to revitalize his career.

One of the clubs that has shown interest in acquiring João Félix's services is AC Milan. The recent arrival of Sergio Conceição to the Rossoneri bench has intensified rumors about a possible loan of the Portuguese player to the Italian team. Conceição, a compatriot of João, sees him as a key piece to strengthen Milan's attack. However, the negotiations haven't been easy. 

The last day's bomb

João Félix has accustomed us to being one of the most talked-about players in the last days of the transfer market. It already happened in the summer with his move to Chelsea, and everything indicates that it will be the same now. Mendes is pushing to finalize his departure, and from Milan they believe the Portuguese player's arrival can help the team.

Every day that passes, football gives, even more so, reason to Diego Pablo Simeone. Neither Simeone, nor Lampard, nor Pochettino, nor Xavi Hernández, nor Enzo Maresca have considered João as an undisputed starter. Now, he could have a new destination again, but Chelsea, which made a significant investment in him, is going to make his departure costly.
