A new adventure for Joao Felix? Flamengo make loan offer for Chelsea flop but Brazilian side face tough task of convincing Benfica target

<p>Felix has struggled since his move to Italy and has seen his playing time severely limited. In total, the Portugal international has made just a mere five Serie A starts, and has provided just one assist. However, Chelsea may be limited in the suitors they can find, as they convinced the playmaker to sign a seven-year contract upon his arrival in 2024.  </p>

He made 43 appearances for the Portuguese club in the 2018/19 season after coming through the youth system. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Felix also struggled for minutes during the first half of the season at Stamford Bridge, making just three starts, prior to his initial move to Milan. He has struggled for minutes in every season since 2023/24, when he played 44 times for Barcelona on loan. </p>

<p>Milan play Genoa on Monday evening. They currently languish in ninth place in Serie A. </p>
