AC Milan have unveiled a new strategy in the transfer market, according to an important update from Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Rossoneri are determined to retain Joao Felix beyond the expiration of his loan from Chelsea, which concludes on the 30th of June at the end of this season.
To achieve this, the club might be forced to make a significant sacrifice.
An unnamed club insider told Gazzetta dello Sport, “It’s crucial for us to keep Felix, and we’re prepared to make the necessary adjustments.”
AC Milan, who borrowed Felix on a straightforward loan this past summer, do not have an option to buy.
Nonetheless, the club’s management is reportedly prioritising negotiations to extend his stay.
The insider added, “Felix has shown he can be an asset to our squad, and we want to build on that.”
The need for financial prudence remains evident, meaning Milan might have to let go of certain players to secure the funds necessary for Felix’s potential permanent move.
This evolving situation will likely form one of the key storylines in Milan’s summer transfer activities, particularly as the club seeks to strengthen its squad for the upcoming season.
