Joao Felix’s loan transfer to AC Milan has been finalised for the remainder of the 2024–25 season. Under the deal, AC Milan will cover his full salary and pay Chelsea a fee of £5m (equivalent to €5.5m), with no obligation to purchase the forward at the end of the loan period. Notably, Felix’s contract with Milan runs until 30 June 2025, meaning he remains eligible to play for Chelsea in the summer Club World Cup. This move comes after a season in which Felix struggled for regular Premier League starts, having been named in the starting XI only three times and scoring seven goals across all competitions. The decision has not gone down well with many Chelsea fans, who have taken to social media to express their discontent. Comments on platforms such as Twitter have described the move as "f*cking disgraceful" and have even labelled Chelsea a "dirty club" for letting the Portuguese forward leave on loan. The backlash reflects broader concerns over our club’s transfer strategy and the treatment of attacking talent, with supporters feeling that Felix was “treated my boy so wrongly.” His next chance to impress in Italy could come in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals against Roma, followed by a potential league debut against Empoli.
