After finishing his loan spell at AC Milan, João Félix returns to Chelsea, but his future at the English club looks complicated. The team led by Enzo Maresca does not have him in their plans for the next season and is already looking for alternatives for the young Portuguese to find a new destination.
João Félix arrived at Chelsea in August 2024 after a €52 million transfer from Atlético de Madrid. However, his adaptation to the London team has not been as expected. Although he started well, showing flashes of his quality that he had demonstrated in previous clubs, he soon began to lose prominence. His performance significantly declined, leading to being relegated from the starting eleven and spending more time on the bench.
This drop in his performance and attitude on and off the field has seriously affected his valuation and confidence. It is worth noting that Atlético de Madrid paid a record €127.2 million to Benfica for his signing in 2019, an investment that has not fully paid off for the player or the teams he has represented so far.
João Félix arrived at Chelsea excited.
João Félix arrived at Chelsea with high expectations, but the transition has not been as positive as expected. According to Transfermarkt, his market value has plummeted rapidly: in the 22/23 season, he was valued at around €50 million, but by the end of the 24/25 season, his price has dropped to nearly €20 million. This reflects the sharp decline in his performance and the lack of interest he currently generates in the market.
Now, with Chelsea not counting on him and AC Milan unable to retain him, the Portuguese needs to find a place where he can regain confidence and become the player who dazzled years ago. His youth still allows him room for reinvention, but time is ticking, and he must make the right decision to avoid losing more ground in his career.
We will see which clubs show interest and if João Félix manages to turn his situation around in the next transfer window. What is certain is that Chelsea no longer sees the Portuguese as part of their project.
