AC Milan is pushing to finalize the loan deal for João Félix from Chelsea in the final hours of the Italian transfer window.

A Deadline Day Full of Big Moves

After signing Kyle Walker and Santiago Giménez, and following the departure of Álvaro Morata and the possible exit of Noah Okafor, Milan is looking to make a statement by bringing in the Portuguese forward. According to local reports, the deal with Chelsea is already in place, with a loan fee of around 5 million euros, while the Rossoneri will cover the player's salary.

With limited playing time at Chelsea, João Félix could find the confidence he needs at Milan, under the guidance of his compatriot Sérgio Conceição, the team’s new manager. He would also have the support of Rafael Leão, the club’s biggest star. If everything is finalized in time, he could make his debut this Wednesday in the Coppa Italia against Roma at San Siro.

Another Signing on the Way?

Milan is also looking to add another attacking option and has set its sights on Riccardo Sottil from Fiorentina, who could be the club’s final winter signing.
