🚨 Milan complete post-deadline day loan signing of Chelsea misfit | OneFootball

Milan have confirmed the signing of Chelsea forward João Félix on loan until the end of the season.

The deal contains no buy option, but the Serie A giants will cover all of his wages, and pay a €5.5m (£4.6m) loan fee.

Felix moves to the San Siro just six months after making a permanent switch to Stamford Bridge for a reported fee of €52m (£43m) as part of the deal that saw Conor Gallagher move to Atlético de Madrid.

However, the Portuguese international's move came largely due to Atlético demanding Chelsea take one of their players to help balance the books, and he has not been a key part of Enzo Maresca's plans from day one.

The 25-year-old has made 20 appearances so far this season, but has mostly been restricted to Europa Conference League duties. He has made just three Premier League starts in his second stint with the club, following on from a loan spell in 2022/23.

His move to Serie A will see him work under countryman Sérgio Conceição, as well as link up with fellow ex-Chelsea players Christian Pulisic and Fikayo Tomori.
