Chelsea spent £ 46 million to sign a contract with Joao Felix from Atletico Madrid nearly a year ago, the 25 -year -old signed a 7 -year contract with the London team. The player born in 1999 did not show the possibility under Enzo Maresca, then brought to AC Milan in January this year.
In the Milan shirt, Felix continued to disappoint so Serie A's team refused to sign a long -term contract with him. Felix played 40 matches for Chelsea – including the loan time before they bought him from Atletico Madrid – scored 11 goals and had 2 assists.

Joao Felix returned to Benfica for 25 million euros. |
According to Portugal's Record newspaper, Felix is now very close to returning to Benfica, the club where he started his career as a professional player. Felix is about to return to Benfica from Chelsea for only 25 million euros (£ 21.7 million).
Felix may even play in a friendly match before Benfica's season with Fenerbahce on Saturday. Felix was once considered a great potential, causing Atletico to pay a huge fee of £ 113 million to sign a contract with the UK in 2019.
But this versatile attacker could not meet expectations. During Chelsea also did not help him regain the best, and hopefully returning to Benfica could help this striker regain inspiration.
