Zlatan Ibrahimovic has opened the door to AC Milan signing Joao Felix from Chelsea on a permanent transfer this summer. Portugal forward Felix joined the Serie A side on loan in January after a frustrating first-half of the season at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea spent £45m to sign Felix from Atletico Madrid last summer but it was always hard to see where the 25-year-old would play given the attacking talent in Enzo Maresca’s squad and the presence of England playmaker Cole Palmer. Felix started just three Premier League games for the Blues before agreeing to join AC Milan, currently just seventh…

Tensions could also…
