One Chelsea star is heavily linked with exit this summer. The Blues are ready to move-on from him after a very short stay. The player has now decided his next destination.
Chelsea have signed multiple players ever since their take over. They have not been shy in spending heavily. But, this has not always went as per their plans. It has costed to the club whenever the player has not bee able to live up the expectations. Same has happened with a player they signed last summer.
Who is the Chelsea star in question?
The player in question here is Joao Felix. The Blues signed him for £43 million last summer. But, it has not went well for both club and the player. Felix was unable to get into the starting lineup. As a result, he spend most of his time at West London on bench.
Later, Felix was sent to AC Milan on loan. He had good start to his career with Italian giants. But, he was unable to stay consistent. As a result, Milan have opted against making him their permanent player. Felix is back at West London but is unlikely to stay.
Chelsea have multiple top players at the club. In addition, they are set to sign even more. Hence, Felix is unlikely to get in the starting lineup. As a result, he is made available by the Blues in the transfer market. The player has now decided where he wants to go next.
Joao Felix keen to return to his former club
According to A Bola, Feliz wants to return to Benfica. The Portugese giants have been working hard to get the deal done before Club World Cup. Felix wants to get his career back on track and he feels going back to former club as perfect opportunity to do so.
Felix had a superb season for Benfica before joining Atletico Madrid. He scored 20 goals and picked 8 assists in 42 games in 2018/19 season. The 25 year old will want to do something like this again and prove himself.
