“People will be frustrated” – Ex-Premier League star hits out at Blues ace despite praising “amazing quality” | OneFootball

Former Arsenal and Manchester City star Bacary Sagna has hit out at Joao Felix over his body language following his move to AC Milan.

The Blues paid £44.5m to sign Felix in the summer from Atletico Madrid, with the 25-year-old signing a seven year contract at Stamford Bridge.

Felix struggled for minutes over the first half of the season as he played second fiddle to Cole Palmer in the number ten role, starting just three Premier League games.

Despite only signing last summer, Felix has already left the club as he completed a deadline day loan move to Italian giants AC Milan.

The Portugal international scored on his debut, and has already said how he would like to stay at Milan beyond the end of the season if possible.

Felix hasn’t managed to settle at a club since leaving Benfica for Atletico Madrid in a big money transfer, and he appears to be one of those players who is constantly on the move.

Former Liverpool ace Luis Garcia warned Felix that talent isn’t enough to succeed in modern day football, and Sagna has now had his say on the attacker.

“With Joao Felix, his body language was not the best,” he said in words cited on X.com.

“He has amazing quality, but maybe people will be frustrated with how he looks on the pitch.

“It was always going to be difficult for Felix to be given opportunities consistently at Chelsea.”

Felix is due to return to Chelsea before the Club World Cup starts in the summer, but if his latest comments are anything to go by it seems he’s made up his mind that he doesn’t want to stay at Stamford Bridge.

Just how much Chelsea would get for the attacker is unclear, but if he does leave it’s yet another transfer that would go down as a failure.
