Chelsea player’s agent set to meet European giants with shock exit a possibility | OneFootball

AC Milan are interested in Joao Felix with his agent Jorge Mendes set to meet with the Italian club according to journalist Alfredo Pedulla.

The January window is now into the final few days, and whilst Chelsea haven’t been as busy as expected, this is usually the stage where business starts to happen.

The Blues have finally sold Cesare Casadei to Torino, although they are still looking to move a number of players on before Monday’s deadline.

Felix attracting interest from Milan

Whilst outgoings would appear to be the priority the Blues would like to bring in an attacker as they search for an alternative and competition for Nicolas Jackson.

Mathys Tel was a target but he’s now decided to stay at Bayern Munich, whilst the Blues have also been linked with Liam Delap, and are said to have joined the race for Brighton’s Evan Ferguson.

In order for an attacker to come in it’s likely one will have to leave, with Felix and Christopher Nkunku the most likely candidates.

Nkunku had attracted interest from Bayern, but with Tel staying put that’s unlikely to happen, and an exit for Felix could be easier.

Despite only joining for £45m last summer, the Blues are seemingly open to offers for the 25-year-old, with Aston Villa very interested after Jhon Duran moved to Saudi side Al Nassr.

However, Italian giants AC Milan are also interested and Pedulla has provided an update with Felix’s agent set to meet with the Italian club.

He took to X.com and said:

“Jorge #Mendes landed at #Torino officially to watch his son’s match. But in the next few hours he will meet #Milan : in his agenda there is Antonio #Silva (high clause), however the spotlight will be on #JoaoFelix.”

Felix has struggled for regular minutes in the league, only starting three games from a possible 23, although he’s fared better in the cup competitions and has seven goals in all competitions this season.

A January departure would come as a shock, but if that’s the sacrifice Chelsea have to make in order to bring a striker in then it has to be done.
