Joao Felix is currently on loan at AC Milan from Chelsea. Galatasaray wants to sign him, and a deal is close according to his agent, Jorge Mendes. A loan with a purchase option is considered a potential solution due to financial agreement challenges with Chelsea.

Jorge Mendes, the agent of João Félix, mentioned in an interview with Sporx that João Félix could play in Galatasaray if an agreement is reached with Chelsea. This would be a temporary transfer, similar to the unexpected loan of Victor Osimhen to the same club in 2024. João Félix is reportedly open to this transfer, which would make Galatasaray the sixth club of his career, following Benfica, Atlético de Madrid, Chelsea, Barcelona, and Milan.

Galatasaray has shown interest in acquiring Joao Felix, who is not part of Chelsea's plans and is open to leaving. According to Felix's agent, Jorge Mendes, the player is receptive to the idea of joining Galatasaray and has informed Chelsea's management that they should consider reaching an agreement with the Turkish club. Chelsea, on their part, would prefer to either sell Felix outright or include a mandatory purchase option in any loan arrangement. However, Felix's current annual net salary of 9 million euros poses a significant challenge to the transfer. Despite these financial obstacles, Felix's recent form, including scoring 1 goal and providing 1 assist in 10 matches during his loan at Milan, has maintained his appeal among top clubs seeking to enhance their squads for the upcoming season.
