Joao Felix's agent Jorge Mendes is determined to push through a transfer to AC Milan this weekend, according to various reports.

The Portuguese midfielder is determined to leave Chelsea before the window shuts, as revealed by The Transfers Podcast earlier this week. Felix is unhappy with his lack of Premier League action and wants to depart the Blues after just six months.

Felix has primarily featured for Chelsea's 'B Team' in the Conference League and domestic cups. He has scored regularly when he has played, however, he is frustrated with the fact that he has almost exclusively been wheeled out against opponents that Chelsea would be expected to beat comfortably anyway.

Despite his underwhelming form in recent seasons, Felix still has no shortage of suitors and Unai Emery dreams of bringing him to Aston Villa. However, it appears as though that AC Milan are actually better placed to sign the 25-year-old.

Milan push for Felix

According to TEAMtalk, the Rossoneri are determined to complete the signing of Felix this weekend and, preferably, as early as today. His head coach and compatriot Sergio Conceicao is keen to link up with the attacker.

Similarly, journalists Ben Jacobs and Eduardo Burgos report that Felix's agent, Jorge Mendes, is pushing for a move to Milan. This, it seems, is likely due to the fact that he is also in talks with Aston Villa over another client of his, Marco Asensio.

Villa would likely only be able to sign one of the two, especially as they are also closing in on Marcus Rashford, so a move of Felix to Milan would allow Mendes to complete two deals and pocket two commissions.

Crucial talks between Mendes and Milan will be held today, although there are also several other clubs still interested in Felix.
