João Félix is experiencing a moment of uncertainty at Chelsea, where he is struggling to find stability in his second spell with the London club. Despite rumors of a possible move to AC Milan, coach Enzo Maresca has made it clear: the Portuguese is a key player at Stamford Bridge.

Milan has made a tempting offer that would involve a loan until the end of the season with a purchase option of 35 million euros, a significantly lower figure than the over 50 million that Chelsea paid for the forward just a few months ago. However, Maresca has reiterated his confidence in João Félix. "He is a Chelsea player, without a doubt," the coach stated in the press conference before the match against Manchester City.

Competition at Chelsea is fierce, Cole Palmer is undisputed

Despite this statement, competition within the team is fierce. Cole Palmer, who has established himself as a starter in the attacking midfield position, limits opportunities for the Portuguese, especially in the Premier League, where he has only started in three matches. However, João Félix has delivered when given the chance, shining in cup competitions and the Conference League with seven goals and two assists this season.

Although Milan continues to monitor his situation, as reported by 'La Gazzetta dello Sport', Maresca seems determined for João Félix to remain in the team. The challenge for the Portuguese will be to prove his worth and convince the coach that he deserves more prominence. Stamford Bridge believes in him, but he will have to fight for his place.
