“Not financially” – Romano update on Chelsea player’s future is bad news for Blues | OneFootball

Fabrizio Romano has launched us into the new week with a video all about Chelsea’s transfer plans regarding Joao Felix, and it’s not good news for those Blues fans hoping they’d seen the last of the Portuguese playmaker in a Blue shirt.

His return to Stamford Bridge was followed by a loan move out to AC Milan just 6 months later, and after a goal on his debut in Serie A there was plenty of talk about the Italian side being keen to make that move permanent.

But Romano’s update points out that, due to poor performances from Felix and the team leading to poor results, that looks very unlikely.

Chelsea already preparing to get Felix back as Milan struggle

Joao Felix speaks in an AC Milan press conference.

“Joao Felix, he joined AC Milan on a loan deal. There is no buy option included. We remember what Zlatan Ibrahimovic said at the beginning of February, saying ‘ok, if we want to find a solution we can do it, we have an excellent relationship with Chelsea’, but many things are about to change at Milan,” Romano explained.

Things are very complicated, with the manager, the recent results have been really poor. There is an expectation for Milan to bring in a new director of football very soon. The feeling internally at the club is that it’s going to be really complicated to continue with Joao Felix. And it’s not financially, it’s just because in these first 40 days for Joao Felix at Milan the situation… has not been what they all expected. The player, the club, the results. The situation is really complicated, to go there and negotiate with Chelsea is not what Milan are planning to do.”

So it looks like it’s back to the drawing board for Chelsea are they look to ship out another flop.
