A former Barcelona forward targets Turkey to try to save his career

Joao Félix still cannot find his way after his time at FC Barcelona. The player from Viseo returned this season to Chelsea, where he had already played a less successful semester in 2023, but has again gone unnoticed at Stamford Bridge despite the good first half of the season that the team led by Enzo Maresca has had. In this sense, the Portuguese would be very close to being loaned out again, this time to a much less attractive league.

According to 'AS', Joao could leave in the coming days for Fenerbahçe, at the request of José Mourinho. The blue and yellow team has not been able to catch up with the leader of the Turkish league (Galatasaray) and hopes to make two or three important signings in January, with the former Barcelona midfielder being one of the priorities of the management. The '14' has barely accumulated 787 minutes of action spread over 16 matches this season, with 5 goals and 2 assists.

Enzo Maresca would have already 'sentenced' Joao Félix at Chelsea

Although he was a starter in the first three matches of the Conference League, in December he played only one full match (against Southampton) and has not seen minutes in the last three rounds of the Premier League. Therefore, in England several media outlets are beginning to speculate about his departure in the winter, as the relationship between the Portuguese international and the Italian coach is not good.

Chelsea is third in their league with 35 points, seven behind the leader Liverpool. The defeat on 'Boxing Day' against Fulham knocked them out of second place, but the team has significantly improved its performance compared to previous seasons. Félix, for his part, maintains the inconsistency that characterized him for most of his career, a determining factor for Barcelona to rule out renegotiating his loan with Atlético de Madrid.
