Joao Felix, who is having a loan move at AC Milan from Chelsea this season, is looking to join a football club in Saudi (per Sport).
It means that at the age of 25, the Portugal international will leave European football. Not less than five to six seasons ago, Felix was seen as one of the best young forwards in world football.
Felix joined the Italian giants in the 2025 winter transfer market, scoring not even once in 9 Serie A appearances.
In 2019, Atletico Madrid paid €126 million to sign Felix from Benfica. However, he was not able to make a sound impact on Diego Simeone’s side.
Even his loan move to Barcelona in the 2023-24 season was a bit mild.
In 2024, he made a permanent move to Chelsea in London. The 25-year-old forward scored once in the first 12 Premier League appearances for the Blues.
He had a short loan move in the 2022-23 season’s second-half at Chelsea, scoring just four times in 16 English top-flight appearances.
After not being able to click for several top clubs, a move away from Europe might not look shocking. But he could still turn things around.
