This week, Enzo Maresca was rather cash at a press conference regarding the next transfer market. Asked about the case of Christopher Nkunku, the Chelsea coach gave a general response. “We love ‘Christo’ and we want him here. There will always be players who are not happy and some who will ask to leave in January. I don’t know if it will be the case for ‘Christo’ or another player, but we want to keep them here.
If the intentions of the new strong man of the Blues are rather clear regarding the Frenchman, the same cannot be said about João Félix. On Wednesday, the British media GiveMeSport revealed that Maresca will speak with the Portuguese international to take stock of his situation and discuss his future. It must be said that the former FC Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid player is not a potential starter in the eyes of his coach despite his 5 goals and 2 assists in 16 matches in all competitions.
Mourinho wants to revive João Félix
He must deal with strong competition, notably embodied by Christopher Nkunku and Cole Palmer. João Félix plays second fiddle. Which does not necessarily seem to suit the player loaned to London in 2023 before being purchased for €52 million last summer. Maresca is well aware of this and will have to decide on his case. As for its leaders, the door is not closed for departure. A few days ago, the rumor of a return to Benfica in the form of a loan was mentioned. But there was nothing very concrete.
On the other hand, Fenerbahçe is on target. FotoMaç reveals that José Mourinho and his club want to make the big move João Felix, while Talisca and Kevin De Bruyne are also on their shelves. The Special One even contacted his compatriot directly to explain his project and his desires. He also asked his president to go on the offensive in the event of agreement from the player, who will not be retained in London. The transfer windows follow one another and are similar for João Félix.
