Joao Felix hints at permanent AC Milan move after bright start

Joao Felix hints at permanent AC Milan move after bright start

The 25-year-old forward, who joined Milan on a season-long loan, appears to be enjoying his football again after a frustrating spell at Stamford Bridge.

Milan secured Felix on loan for a reported 5 million pounds, and he has made an immediate impact. He scored on his debut in a 3-1 victory over Roma in Serie A and has continued to impress. His early performances suggest he is rediscovering his best form.

Felix endured a challenging time at Chelsea, managing just three Premier League starts despite scoring seven goals in 20 appearances. His lack of consistent game time left him frustrated, leading to his temporary switch to Italy.

Speaking recently, Felix expressed admiration for Brazilian legend Kaka, a revered figure at Milan who won Serie A, the Champions League, and the Ballon d'Or.

"For now, I'm on loan until June, we'll see how it goes," he told reporters.

"I'm liking everything: the club, the people, the infrastructure. My family and I have received a great welcome and I want to be in a place where I feel good. Things can change in football, but if there's the chance to stay here, I'd like that.

"My favourite player has always been Kaka, I've spoken about him in the past and met him in the United States where we took part in an interview together.

"He is my idol, but I can't make comparisons between myself and him, I would also like to make history at AC Milan."

His comments, along with his strong performances, have fuelled speculation that he could remain at San Siro beyond this season.
