Will João Félix join Flamengo? Brazilian club shows strong interest in Portuguese star

Portuguese talented footballer João Félix may continue his career this summer in an unexpected destination — Brazil’s famous club Flamengo, according to British outlet Sky Sports.

Reportedly, Flamengo, one of the giants of Brazilian football, wants to strengthen its squad ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup, which will be held in the USA from June 15 to July 13. The club is very interested in acquiring Félix as part of its preparations for the tournament.

Flamengo’s management has set a high tournament result as its main goal and is actively involved in the transfer market. João Félix is considered one of the top targets. The Portuguese star spent this season on loan at AC Milan, making 16 appearances since February, but the Italian side is reportedly not looking to extend the loan.

Currently, Félix is under contract with Chelsea, having signed a six-year deal with the London club. However, his future will likely be decided via another loan move. If so, Flamengo could register him for the summer tournament.

Notably, if this transfer goes through, Félix may end up playing against his parent club Chelsea on June 20 during the Club World Cup — a storyline that would surely catch the attention of football fans.

Félix’s move to Flamengo could be an important step not only for the club, but also for his personal career. A strong showing at the tournament may shape his next club and career path.

The final decision on this transfer is expected soon.
