AC Milan have bolstered their attacking options with the addition of Chelsea’s Joao Felix on loan for the remainder of the 2024-25 season.
Milan have paid a £5million loan fee for Joao Felix, with no obligation to buy the 25-year-old Portugal international in the summer.
After spending the second half of the 2022-23 campaign on loan at Stamford Bridge, Joao Felix put pen to paper on a permanent deal with the Blues in August last year.
He signed a seven-year deal for a reported £35m, but has struggled for game time this term given the overhaul of additions made by Chelsea during the summer window.
Joao Felix was one of 11 new arrivals at the club before the 2024-25 campaign, and he has made just 20 appearances across all competitions.
The former Atletico Madrid striker started three Premier League games and has been mainly used by Maresca in the cup competitions.
In Chelsea’s campaigns in the Europa Conference League, EFL Cup and FA Cup, Joao Felix scored six goals in eight appearances across 584 minutes of action.
Creativity, flair and pure talent

Joao Felix’s arrival at the San Siro offers Milan head coach Sergio Conceicao another exciting attacking option for the remainder of the campaign.
The Rossoneri also welcomed Feyenoord striker Santiago Gimenez on deadline day, having completed deals earlier in the month for Kyle Walker and Warren Bondo.
Milan, who drew 1-1 with Inter in the Milan derby on Sunday, are eighth in the Serie A standings and face Roma in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia on Wednesday.
They also have a two-legged Champions League play-off tie to look forward to, with Eredivisie side Feyenoord their opponents later this month.
