Milan is one of the most active teams in these final days of the transfer market: the Rossoneri are moving between incoming and outgoing deals, and with almost 72 hours left until the final bell, an assist could come from Jorge Mendes, agent of Sergio Conceiçao but also of a player who in recent weeks has become an idea for the Rossoneri: João Félix. The Portuguese agent arrived in Italy yesterday, and today there will be a meeting with the Milan management.
Milan - Joao Felix situation:
Conceiçao is pushing to bring the Portuguese forward, who is leaving Chelsea: his contract expires in 2030 with a salary of 6 million euros net per season. The parties are working to find a solution that convinces everyone; the Blues are open to a loan with an option to buy (they still have a free slot) for a deal that could be feasible if the right balance is found. The Milan push is being slowed by some doubts regarding the investment in a player who has not had much consistency in recent years and plays in a similar position to Leao. The meeting with Mendes will help clarify these aspects.
What about Benfica's Antonio Silva?
Antonio Silva is represented by Jorge Mendes, same as Joao Felix. He was previously targeted by Juventus and could be an objective for Milan in case of Tomori’s sale (read about Tottenham's offer which we have revealed last night). The Benfica defender has a release clause that is unreachable, set at 100 million euros, and his contract expires in 2027.
To let him go, the club is asking for 40 million euros. Today's meeting will also help determine with the agent if there is room to open negotiations. Milan is very active in the market, and Jorge Mendes could be the right ally, as reported by Calciomercato.com.
