João Félix has joined Milan from Chelsea on loan without option to buy.

The last day of the January transfer market was absolutely wild as the Rossoneri finalized deals for 3 new players: Warren Bondo, who replaces Ismaël Bennacer, Riccardo Sottil, who replaces Noah Okafor, and João Félix, who comes to give more quality to the attack of Milan.

The official statement regarding the Portuguese only came on Tuesday:

“Milan is delighted to announce the signing of João Félix Sequeira from Chelsea FC. The Portuguese attacker has signed a contract with the Club lasting until 30 June 2025.

“Born in Viseu, Portugal, on 10 November 1999, he developed as a player in his home country – at Padroense and Porto – before joining Benfica, where he made his first-team debut in 2017 and won the Portuguese league title. In 2019, he moved to Atletico Madrid, with whom he won La Liga, after which he wore the shirts of Barcelona and Chelsea. To date, João Félix has scored 75 goals in 259 appearances over the course of his career.

“In June 2019, João made his debut for Portugal. He has scored nine goals in 45 appearances for his country, winning the 2019 Nations League.

“João Félix will wear the number 79 shirt.” According to Matteo Moretto of Relevo, Milan pay €3m + €2-2.5m of bonuses to take Félix on loan. They’re also paying a part of his salary, with Chelsea contributing.
