The Last Chance Of A Failed Genius On 'Once Second Ronaldo', Will Career Save With Aston Villa

Where will João Félix (25), who plays for AC Milan, play next season.
British media "Curtoffside" reported on the 22nd (Korea Standard Time) that "Aston Villa are considering recruiting Felix. Chelsea want to break up with Felix after one season."
"Felix's career at Chelsea did not go well. He transferred to AC Milan on a loan in January, but it has not changed. Felix has not displayed impressive performance in Italy. It will be difficult for him to completely transfer."
He also said, "Aston Villa can offer Felix a fresh start. Coach Unai Emery liked Felix and has tried to recruit him in previous transfer windows. We can finally get a chance this summer."
Felix, who played for Benfica, moved to Atletico Madrid in the 2019-20 season. At the time, his transfer fee amounted to 114 million pounds (about W215.7 billion), the highest ever for Atletico Madrid.
Felix has been nicknamed the "second Ronaldo" since he was evaluated as the successor of Cristiano Ronaldo from the Benfica Youth era in Portugal. This shows how highly Atletico Madrid valued him.
However, he has never performed as well as expected. He only scored 34 goals and 18 assists in 131 matches. In the 2022-23 season, the team saw its weight drop further. It had only five goals and three assists in 20 matches. He only played in seven matches as a starter in La Liga. Due to inconvenient relations with Diego Simeone, he failed to get the chance.
Eventually, he moved to Chelsea through the transfer window in January. Since then, he has scored four goals in 20 matches. He started 11 of 16 Premier League matches.
He ended up leaving Atletico Madrid last season as well. He was still uncomfortable with Simeone. He went on a one-year loan to Barcelona, his dream club.
However, his performance was not sufficient. He had 10 goals and six assists in 44 games during the 2023-24 season. He had only seven goals and three assists in 30 matches in La Liga and played only 18 matches as a starter. Felix, who did not play a significant role in his team, returned to his original team.
He played for Portugal at the 2024 European Championship, but Felix was not a key player. He played the role of Joker, losing to Rafael Leão (AC Milan), Bernardou Silva (Manchester City), and Vitinha (Paris Saint-Germain). When he was eliminated after losing to France 0-1 in the quarterfinals, he only appeared in the 30th minute of the second half and played for 15 minutes.
Felix, who needed a revolutionary change, showed not bad performance in the pre-season, but there was still a lot of evaluation that it was best to leave Atletico Madrid.
In the end, Felix, who failed to take root in the big leagues until he was in his mid-20s, did not hide his willingness to make a 'new start' at Chelsea.
Felix's transfer to Chelsea was made at the same time as midfielder Conor Gallagher's transfer to Atletico Madrid. Gallagher changed his uniform for 33 million pounds (62.4 billion won). His contract period is five years.
Gallagher played a key role for Chelsea for the past two consecutive seasons. However, Chelsea wanted to secure the transfer fee by selling Gallagher with one year left on his contract. Some critics say Gallagher is not suitable for new coach Enzo Maresca's soccer.
Atletico Madrid reportedly relieved the financial pressure it could face by recruiting Gallagher with the sale of Felix. 바카라
Felix, however, still did not have a chance. He had only seven goals and two assists in a total of 20 matches for Chelsea, and only three Premier League matches as starters. He moved to AC Milan on loan during the winter transfer window, but has only one goal and one assist in a total of 10 matches when he transferred to another team. Still, his presence is not significant, and his future is uncertain.
