Euro giants desperate to seal €40 million loan-to-buy deal for 2024 Chelsea signings
AC Milan is eager to secure Chelsea forward João Félix on a loan deal with an option to buy, proposing a €35 million clause, potentially increasing to €40 million. Chelsea prefers a loan with an obligation to buy, making negotiations complex. Félix, 25, rejoined Chelsea in the summer after previous loan spells at Barcelona and Chelsea. Despite his talent, he has struggled to make a significant impact, prompting Chelsea to consider his departure. Milan has successfully revitalized former Chelsea players like Christian Pulisic and Fikayo Tomori, hoping Félix could similarly benefit from a move to the San Siro.
