Football Transfer News

Fine art without the right application: the skilful Joao Felix was once sold for £113m, won titles in Portugal and Spain but failed to listen to experienced coaches (Simeone, Poch etc), probably looks great in highlights’ reels, negligible contribution out of possession, career drifted and now offloaded by Chelsea to Al-Nassr. At 25. Congrats to Chelsea for negotiating initial £26m which could potentially rise to £43m, recouping what they paid. Plenty of skill, plenty of riches banked but sad and shocking career decline. Still a Portugal international (9 in 45) but in the club desert now. Wasted his chance at Chelsea. 4 in 20 on loan in 2023 (£9m loan fee for 6 months). 7 goals in 20 last season, 4 of which came against Morecambe and Noah. Actually finished last season ok on loan at AC Milan (£5m loan fee for 6 months) scoring in his last 2 games. But now off the elite club radar. Injuries intervened at times but this is all down to Felix. Pity. Because the skill was very clear early on at Benfica. A cautionary tale of wealth and waste.
