Video: Joao Felix arrives for Milan deadline day transfer from Chelsea | OneFootball

Watch as Joao Felix has arrived on Italian soil for a last-minute deadline day transfer from Chelsea to Milan on a paid loan.

The 25-year-old is represented by agent Jorge Mendes, who also works with Rossoneri coach Sergio Conceicao, and his tireless work over the last few days managed to get the deal over the line.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Mendes also managed to negotiate down the fee paid to Chelsea for the dry loan from the original €5m request to just €2m.

However, Milan are covering his full salary during the five months that Joao Felix will spend at San Siro.

The Portugal international came through the Benfica youth academy and was sold to Atletico Madrid for a massive €127m in the summer of 2019, but never lived up to those expectations.

He was loaned to Chelsea and Barcelona before the €52m sale to the Premier League side in August 2024.

Joao Felix scored seven goals with two assists in 20 competitive games this season.
