Despite reports suggesting that Joao Felix could arrive at AC Milan permanently in the summer, the Rossoneri now seem to be turning their back on the idea.
After the first few minutes of Felix in a Milan shirt, there were a notable number of people asking for the Diavolo to take the Portuguese permanently at the end of the season. However, he has failed to continue at that rate.
Instead, the attacker has fallen into a bit of a slump and has been heavily criticised, with the latest instance being after last night’s defeat to Bologna, which has seen the Rossoneri effectively forfeit a place in the Champions League next season.
This alone would be a decisive blow to the chances of signing the former Barcelona man, simply as the finances available will be much less than originally anticipated, and TMW (via Milan News) reports that this is one of the big reasons why a move is ‘difficult if not impossible’ to see happening.
Aside from this, Felix’s performances have not continued as everyone had hoped. The Portuguese is slow, he doesn’t work, and ultimately, he lacks function within this side. For this reason, the sparkle fades, and what is left is a player that is rendered almost useless.
So, it seems the ‘Italian adventure’ could already be done.
