GdS: Felix’s Milan situation becomes ‘painful’ after Atalanta game – the details | OneFootball

When Joao Felix arrived at AC Milan in January, there was a feeling of optimism about his chances. However, those hopes quickly faded.

On his debut, there was a player on display who looked like he could change Milan’s fortunes. A player of skill and flair, with a hint of rawness that elevated his game slightly. Of course, we are speaking of Felix here.

In the games that followed, this player quickly faded, and since then, those dreams of Felix are a distant memory. Now, the Rossoneri are left with an option who provides a number on the teamsheet and little else, a story much like his other clubs.

Last night’s game against Atalanta was perhaps the most blatant example, with Gazzetta dello Sport stating his performance was ‘painful’; a harsh but true summary of his current position within the squad, and even himself.

It is a gamble which has not worked or paid off, and whilst that is partly not his fault, he also should contribute a little more, and bridge a gap where his teammates cannot. Ultimately, it is not a shock that the club are not going to sign him permanently this summer, a disappointing loan indeed.
