Reports: Milan very close to Joao Felix signing – he will not be in Chelsea squad tonight | OneFootball

Reports are claiming that AC Milan are now close to securing the signing of Joao Felix on what will be a loan deal from Chelsea.

The Felix rumours have been doing the rounds for most of the month now, given that Milan’s links with Jorge Mendes have blossomed again following the appointment of his client Sergio Conceicao.

As we headed into deadline day there was a lot of uncertainty regarding whether the deal would get over the line or not but there seems to have been positive progress in the past few hours.

According to Matteo Moretto of Relevo, Milan are ‘close’ to the signing of João Félix. The Rossoneri recently presented a written offer to Chelsea and ‘official contacts’ between the clubs for a loan are continuing.

The discussions are ongoing with Mendes towards a’ total agreement’. The parties are trying to square the costs of the deal when factoring in the paid loan and the Portuguese’s salary.

Sérgio Conceição is pushing hard for João Félix, who he believes will be a useful reinforcement for an attacking department that has at times looked quite light this season.

According to Matt Law, Joao Felix will not be in the Chelsea squad tonight as Milan close in on a loan deal. That will be Chelsea’s last international loan spot meaning Axel Disasi will have to stay in the Premier League.

Gianluca Di Marzio is also stating that the Portuguese forward is now getting ‘every closer’ to ending up with the Diavolo.
