It is becoming increasingly likely that Chelsea will sell at least one of their forwards in the summer transfer window.

This season, Enzo Maresca has rarely used Joao Felix and Christopher Nkunku from the start of games.

Things could be about to change for Nkunku, with Nicolas Jackson expected to be out of action until April because of injury. But at this stage of the campaign, the 27-year-old has only made three starts in the Premier League, while Felix was also handed the same amount before his loan move to AC Milan.

Milan could now offer Chelsea two players in exchange for Felix in their bid to keep hold of the Portuguese.

Chelsea could sell Joao Felix to AC Milan before the end of June

It was recently reported that Chelsea are planning to sell Joao Felix in the next transfer window.

And according to Calciomercato, a sale to Milan could happen before June finishes, with there now seemingly no way back for the 25-year-old at Stamford Bridge.

Felix has already made three appearances for Milan since joining them at the end of the January transfer window.

He scored on his debut, a 3-1 win against AS Roma in the Coppa Italia, but has not been able to follow that up with another goal yet.

Joao Felix wants to join AC Milan permanently

Felix has not been at the San Siro for long, but the Portugal international looks determined to stay there.

In a press conference following his arrival, Felix spoke about his long-term future, stating that he would like to remain at Milan if there is a possibility to.

At Chelsea and Atletico Madrid, it has not worked out for Felix. However, he is still a player with a lot of talent.

Discussing Felix after one display, Atletico manager Diego Simeone once told reporters (via Goal): “Hopefully we can help him because with a great Joao Felix the team will be more competitive. It was possibly the most complete performance due to the importance of the game, but he has played many good ones.”

Chelsea have only seen glimpses of that talent, largely because Maresca has not really utilised Felix this term. Sergio Conceicao, though, will be looking to fully tap into it following Milan’s acquisition of the ex-Benfica player.
