AC Milan are ramping up efforts to secure Joao Felix’s signature in the final days of the transfer window. Calciomercato report that the Rossoneri are set to meet with super-agent Jorge Mendes to discuss a potential move for the Portuguese forward from Chelsea.
Manager Sergio Conceicao is reportedly pushing for Felix’s arrival, viewing him as a versatile attacking option. The coach believes Felix could adapt to multiple positions in the offensive third, including as a playmaker, winger, or false nine.
Chelsea appear open to letting Felix leave on loan with an option to buy, as their attacking department is currently overcrowded. This arrangement could suit Milan, though the club still has some reservations about the financial aspects of the deal and Felix’s tactical fit within the squad.
While Milan see Felix as an immensely talented player, there are concerns about his similarity to Rafael Leao and his lack of consistent form throughout his career. The club is weighing these factors against the potential impact Felix could have on the team.
Despite interest from other clubs like Aston Villa, Felix is said to prefer a move to Milan. The player’s willingness to join the Rossoneri could be a decisive factor in negotiations.
Interestingly, Milan’s pursuit of Felix does not rule out their interest in Feyenoord striker Santiago Gimenez. The club appears to be exploring multiple options to strengthen their attack before the transfer deadline.
