AC Milan have decided not to initiate discussions with Chelsea regarding the possibility of extending João Félix’s stay at the club beyond the current season. According to the latest developments, the Italian club is not planning to enter into negotiations with Chelsea at this stage. The loan deal that brought the Portuguese forward to AC Milan does not include a buy option clause, which would have allowed the club to secure his services on a permanent basis.
Background on João Félix’s Move to AC Milan
João Félix, an attacking midfielder, joined AC Milan on loan from Chelsea in February 2025, as reported in the media at the time. Prior to his move to AC Milan, there were indications that the club was open to retaining his services beyond the loan period, but it appears that those plans are currently on hold. The player’s style of play, which combines creativity and skill on the pitch, had generated interest from AC Milan, leading to the initial loan bid.
Future Developments
The decision not to pursue talks with Chelsea at this stage may be subject to change, with further developments expected after key decisions are made by the club’s director and head coach. It remains to be seen how the situation will unfold, but for now, AC Milan are not advancing with plans to keep João Félix at the club beyond the current season.
