Marcel Desailly urges £45m Chelsea flop to join Champions League club
Marcel Desailly has urge Joao Felix to leave Chelsea after failing to make an impact at Stamford Bridge.
Felix is currently playing for AC Milan after joining the Serie A side on เล่นบาคาร่า UFABET เว็บตรง ค่าคอมสูง loan during the January transfer window.
Milan are under no obligation to sign the 25-year-old on a permanent transfer and are not expecte to enter into talks with Chelsea following the Portuguese’s struggles in Italy.
Desailly believes ‘great talent’ Felix is still looking for ‘his place’ having struggle for game-time at Chelsea.
The Blues spent £45m to sign Felix from Atletico Madrid last summer but were happy to offload him less than six months later after he starte just three Premier League games.
Felix was once viewe as one of the most exciting talents in the world but his career is threatening to stagnate following underwhelming stints in west London and now Milan.
World Cup winner Desailly fears Felix lacks the ‘character’ to be one of the best players in the world and says he should be looking to leave Stamford Bridge in the summer.
Despite his doubts over Felix, Desailly believes a chance of scenery could help Felix rediscover his top form and has name Paris Saint-Germain as a possible destination for the 25-year-old.
‘Joao Felix is a player with great talent, but he has still not found his place,’ Desailly told.
‘He’s at Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, now Milan, without making any real impact.
‘At this moment of his career, he needs a club with a clear philosophy that can build its project around him, put him at ease to express his potential that we still haven’t really seen. I would suggest Paris Saint-Germain.
‘What Joao Felix lacks is not technique, but character. He is not a leader. At this moment, he is not what Milan need, because he lacks the mental strength to revive the Rossoneri. And vice versa.’
PSG are enjoying a superb season under Luis Enrique, recently securing the French league title and going well in the Champions League.
Felix’s current club, AC Milan, have slippe to ninth in Serie A, winning less than half of their league games this season.
‘I am disappointe, as Milan are today a mix of many different problems,’ Desailly.
‘The season starte badly, then there was a moment where they thought it was turning around, but everyone quickly realise this team lacks the leadership to be competitive.
‘All the sides ahead of them in the Serie A table have a very clear philosophy. Just look at Inter, who for years have assimilate the 3-5-2 system and now play by heart.
