Joao Felix heading to AC Milan! Chelsea agree deadline day loan deal after Portugal international 'pushes hard' for Rossoneri transfer

Chelsea and Milan have already reached an agreement over a deal that would see the Portuguese attacker join the Rossoneri for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign, Gianluca Di Marzio reports.

While the final details of the deal are still to be decided, a move seems imminent as the 25-year-old has been pushing for Chelsea to let him leave for the Serie A giants. Joao Felix joined the Blues from Atletico Madrid last summer but has started just three of the 12 Premier League matches in which he has featured this season.

According to Sky Sport in Italy, Milan will pay around €2 million (£1.6m) for the loan deal, below than the €4m (£3.3m) Chelsea initially requested after agent Jorge Mendes convinced them to lower their demands.

Joao Felix is expected to travel to Italy imminently to complete his temporary move before the transfer window closes and will therefore miss Chelsea's Monday night clash with West Ham.
