“João Félix’s Struggles at Milan: A Repeat of His Chelsea Nightmare?”

Despite playing in just six games under Sergio Conceicao, Italian newspapers are starting to imply that Joao Felix, a Portugal international, is already in decline in San Siro, despite his quick impact following his January transfer from Chelsea to Milan.

On the last day of the January transfer window, Joao Felix joined Milan on loan from Chelsea. The Rossoneri had a hectic end to the month, adding Warren Bondo, Riccardo Sottil, Kyle Walker, and Santiago Gimenez at about the same time.

The 25-year-old made an immediate impact on the Rossoneri faithful, coming off the bench to score a wonderful chip in his debut appearance in a 3-1 victory against Roma in the Coppa Italia quarter-final.

He hasn’t scored or provided an assist in the five games since, though, which has caused Italian media to speculate that he is pulling his “usual” tricks at Milan once more.

“It’s the usual Joao Felix” at Milan, according to papers.

Joao Felix did the same with Chelsea at the start of the 2024–25 season, scoring off the bench in a 6-2 victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers in his first Premier League game of the year. However, he would not score in the league again until he moved to Milan in early February.

“It’s the usual Joao Felix” in Milan, according to Tuttosport, alluding to his propensity to perform well in his first few games at a new club before struggling for goals and assists.

Despite a two-leg Champions League loss to Feyenoord and the most recent 2-1 loss to Torino over the weekend, Joao Felix has started all five of the Rossoneri’s games since his debut, which included Serie A triumphs against Empoli and Hellas Verona.

Although Sergio Conceicao has shown faith in his countryman and is said to have been the one who pushed for his arrival in January, there have been suggestions that the coach should think about doing the same with Joao Felix because players like Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao have occasionally been left out of the starting lineup.
