€57m Chelsea ace set for shock departure, European giants confident of deadline day deal | OneFootball

Joao Felix is getting closer to joining AC Milan on loan with the Italian giants confident they can complete a deadline day deal according to reports.

The transfer window is now into the final few hours with the deadline at 11pm, meaning the clock is ticking to get any remaining business done.

Chelsea are still looking to finalise a number of exits, including Felix and Axel Disasi, whilst they are also working on trying to bring a midfielder in.

The Blues wanted to bring an attacker in this window, and were linked with Mathys Tel, Alejandro Garnacho and Liam Delap, but there’s virtually no chance this happens now.

However, it now seems Enzo Maresca’s side will end the window with one less attacking option than they started with.

The 25-year-old was reportedly in Milan last night , and Di Marzio have reported the Italian giants are closing in on a move for the 25-year-old.

The reports states the two clubs are in contact and Milan are “increasingly confident” they can complete a deal for the Portugal international.

Di Marzio add that Felix has given his ok to the deal, whilst Chelsea and Milan are trying to reach an agreement on final figures for the loan.

Felix has struggled for regular game time in the league, starting just three Premier League matches, although he’s fared better in the cup competitions.
