The form of Felix has decreased considerably since his departure from Portugal in 2019. The Chelsea striker, currently under contract until 2031, had a little encouraging loan to AC Milan last season and again found himself at the crossroads.
After a final transfer to Chelsea for 45 million pounds sterling after a short loan from Atlético Madrid in 2023, the Portuguese striker only scored one goal in 12 appearances. His performance in Chelsea did not justify the investment, which led to a loan to AC Milan. Unfortunately for Félix, his luck did not shot in Italy and was criticized for his attitude and commitment.
Towards an early retirement for Felix?
According to the Portuguese media A Bola (via The Standard), despite the difficulties, Benfica plans to bring Félix to the Estadio Da Luz, the club which started its professional career. Lusitanian leaders are preparing an offer of 25.6 million pounds sterling for the 25 -year -old, hoping that a return to a familiar environment will revive the spark that made him one of the most promising talents in world football.
The start of the end?
Although Benfica is eager to facilitate reunion, reaching an agreement will be complicated. Felix is still linked to Chelsea by a long and lucrative contract, estimated at 130,000 pounds sterling per week until 2031. However, Chelsea and Benfica must meet in the round of 16 club World Cup this weekend, which offers two clubs an ideal opportunity to discuss in person a possible agreement.
