Joao Felix’s time at AC Milan is increasingly uncertain, with the Italian giants now unlikely to pursue a permanent transfer for the on-loan Chelsea forward, as reported by Tutto Mercato.

Despite initial considerations to keep the Portuguese attacker beyond his loan spell, Milan’s stance has shifted due to a combination of financial constraints and Felix’s inconsistent performances. The club is hesitant to meet the high transfer fee and wages required to secure him on a long-term deal, casting doubt over his future at the San Siro.

Felix’s current loan runs until June 2025, but with Milan now cooling their interest, the 24-year-old is expected to return to Chelsea. The Blues will need to reassess his future, as he remains surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge under Enzo Maresca.

Chelsea will likely explore new options for Felix, whether it be another loan move or a permanent sale elsewhere, as his future in West London remains as uncertain as ever.
