The Portuguese international is reportedly unhappy with his lack of regular playing time at Stamford Bridge. According to The Transfers Podcast, Felix is actively pursuing an exit from the west London team as the transfer deadline approaches.
Chelsea is now considering possible solutions in light of Felix’s decision to seek a transfer.
Felix joined Chelsea permanently last summer after leaving Atletico Madrid. However, his time with the club has been challenging. Despite signing a seven-year deal, he has struggled to make a strong impact on the team.
The 25-year-old has only started three Premier League matches this season under manager Enzo Maresca. His lack of consistent playing opportunities has left him frustrated.
Currently, Felix is behind other players, including Nicolas Jackson, Noni Madueke, Christopher Nkunku, and Neto, in the pecking order at Chelsea.
Recent rumors suggest that Felix could move to Aston Villa, a fellow Premier League club, as he looks for a fresh start elsewhere.
