Way out for Joao Felix

Joao Felix could return to Benfica for a fee of £25.6m, ending a period of decline since leaving Lisbon in 2019.

Felix has the opportunity to return to Benfica to play football.

Despite the difficulties, Benfica are still considering bringing Felix back to the Estadio da Luz, according to A Bola . The Portuguese side are said to be preparing a £25.6m offer for the 25-year-old, hoping a familiar environment will help Felix rediscover the form that made him one of the most exciting young talents in the world .

Felix is ​​currently contracted to Chelsea until 2031. He spent the 2024/25 season on loan at AC Milan, but his future remains uncertain. After being bought by Chelsea from Atletico Madrid for £45m in 2023, Felix has scored just one goal in 12 appearances, failing to live up to the huge investment.

However, Benfica are said to be having trouble getting a deal done. Felix has a long-term contract with Chelsea and is worth around £130,000 a week. Chelsea and Benfica face each other in the last 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup™ this weekend. This could be a good opportunity for the two sides to meet face-to-face and discuss the deal.

Felix's absence from Chelsea's long-term plans is evident in the club's aggressive recruitment of new faces in attack. Liam Delap joined for £30m, while other names such as Hugo Ekitike, Jamie Gittens and Malick Fofana have also been closely linked.

For Felix, returning to Benfica could be a chance to revive his declining career. A familiar environment, the support of the fans and a suitable playing style are expected to help him regain the top form he has lost since leaving Lisbon.
