Zlatan Ibrahimovic Discusses Joao Felix’s Permanent Move to AC Milan

Could AC Milan make Joao Felix’s loan deal permanent? Zlatan Ibrahimovic weighs in.

AC Milan Interested in Joao Felix’s Permanent Deal
Joao Felix’s loan from Chelsea to AC Milan has sparked much speculation, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic now weighing in on the future of the Portuguese star. According to Ibrahimovic, AC Milan remains open to the possibility of securing Felix on a permanent transfer once his loan expires at the end of the season.

No Option to Buy: Felix’s Current Loan Situation
Felix’s move to Milan came after a somewhat challenging spell at Chelsea, where he struggled for consistent game time. Milan’s current loan agreement does not include an option to buy, which has raised questions about how a permanent deal could materialize. With Chelsea having invested a hefty £45 million in Felix last summer, it seemed unlikely that Milan could meet the financial demands of a permanent transfer.

However, there are variables that could change the situation. Ibrahimovic, who plays an influential role in Milan’s management, has left the door open for discussions in the summer.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic on Felix’s Future
Speaking to Sky Sport Italy, Ibrahimovic commented, “Yes, everything is possible. Now we have to make him feel good to do well, he’s playing well. This is just the beginning. We’ll talk about it after the season.”

Felix has already shown flashes of his potential, scoring in his Milan debut against Roma in the Coppa Italia. Since then, he’s started the last three fixtures, signaling his growing importance at the club.

The Future of Joao Felix: A Potential Return to Chelsea?
Should AC Milan fail to finalize a deal with Chelsea, Felix will return to Stamford Bridge, where his future remains uncertain. Under Chelsea’s current management, with Enzo Maresca in charge, it seems unlikely that Felix would have a path back into the first team.

Felix’s marketability is also affected by Barcelona’s decision not to re-sign him on loan this winter. Despite interest from Inter Milan, the player chose Milan, confirming that he turned down a move to the Nerazzurri in favor of joining the Rossoneri.
