João Félix has already shown that he has never lost his class.
This class and skills, were however, and perhaps overshadowed for far too long. And to think that instead of Milan, he could have ended up at Inter... This is the behind-the-scenes story revealed by calciomercato.com.
According to reports, the Nerazzurri had set their sights on two specific profiles in the final days of the winter transfer window. On one hand, Marco Asensio, a long-time target of Piero Ausilio, who was ultimately loaned to Aston Villa by Paris Saint-Germain. On the other hand, the Portuguese forward who was plying his trade at Chelsea in the Premier League.
How Joao Felix could have ended up at Inter instead of Milan...
Despite contacts between Piero Ausilio and Jorge Mendes, Inter would have needed to make room by offloading Marko Arnautović and Joaquín Correa. Since neither player left the Nerazzurri, Milan were able to push forward with greater conviction.
In fact, the Rossoneri then moved swiftly and efficiently to complete the deal in the short time available. After his performance against Roma, the club’s management will certainly not regret the efforts made.
