AC Milan, looking for an attacker this winter, is now eyeing London.

Since the opening of the winter transfer window, AC Milan seems to have set its sights on the English market to strengthen its squad. In recent weeks, the names of Marcus Rashford and Kyle Walker have been regularly associated with the Lombard club.

Left out of the plans of Ruben Amorim, Manchester United coach, the 27-year-old left winger represented an ideal opportunity to densify the Rossoneri's offensive options. However, according to The TeamSerie A regulations limit Italian clubs to the registration of only one British recruit per season. A constraint which forces the Milanese leaders to make a difficult choice between the two English internationals.

Despite this, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the reigning Italian vice-champion remains active on the market and explores other avenues to expand his attack. The Italian sports daily thus reports a growing interest from AC Milan for Joao Félix.

The seven-time European champion is said to be studying the possibility of obtaining the Chelsea striker in the form of a loan, with a purchase option estimated at 35 million euros. It remains to be seen whether the Portuguese, little used in the Premier League this season, would be willing to leave Stamford Bridge just a few months after his arrival, and whether the management of the Blues would be in favor of selling their 2024 summer recruit.
