João Félix, the 25-year-old Portuguese forward, has joined AC Milan on loan from Chelsea. The player expressed his enthusiasm for the move, stating his admiration for the club and his desire to remain beyond the current season if the opportunity arises. Félix, who has previously played for Atlético Madrid and Benfica, is known for his versatility and technical skills on the pitch.
Félix’s Admiration for AC Milan
Félix revealed his excitement about joining the Italian giants, describing AC Milan as a “top European club” and expressing his affection for the team. He mentioned that Kaká, a former Milan star, was his idol, which influenced his decision to choose Milan over other interested clubs, such as Inter Milan.
Potential for a Permanent Move
AC Milan have shown interest in retaining Félix beyond his loan period, as reported earlier this month. The club’s openness to a permanent deal aligns with Félix’s own wishes to continue his career in Milan if circumstances allow.
Background and Playing Style
Félix began his professional career at Benfica before moving to Atlético Madrid, where he gained recognition for his attacking prowess and creativity. His style of play is characterised by his agility, vision, and ability to operate in various attacking roles, making him a valuable asset for any team.
Recent Developments
The move to AC Milan follows a series of discussions and clarifications by Enzo Maresca, who addressed Félix’s departure from Chelsea. The loan deal was finalised after AC Milan submitted a bid earlier this month, marking a new chapter in Félix’s career.
