At the age of 19, he is worth 126 million euros and has been in the four major families. Now he is only 25 years old, but he has become an abandoned son!

Recently, Premier League giant Chelsea officially announced a news that with the end of the season, Joao Felix, who is about to end his loan contract, will no longer be rented to other teams, but will be determined to send the former European Golden Boy away, who is only 25 years old, and the asking price is not high, only 30 million euros, plus some reasonable additional terms, Felix can be taken away. And you should know that Felix entered the five major leagues with a net worth of 126 million euros, but now he is so down and out, which is also an extremely sad thing. So what has Felix experienced over the years and why he has never been able to play to the level he deserves. Let’s find out below!

1. His debut was his peak and he was introduced by Atletico Madrid.

Time returns to the 17-18 season. Felix, who was only 18 years old at the time, was called up by Benfica Team B for his outstanding performance in the European Youth Champions League last year, and became the youngest player in the history of Team B. Although he could only compete in the Portuguese League this year, Felix's performance was amazing, playing in a total of 17 games and contributing excellent data of 4 goals and 5 assists. Therefore, he was promoted to the first team the next year. Moreover, he is not just about being promoted to the first team. He became the core of Benfica in the 18-19 season, and made wonderful goals and assists many times. The young man's talent was fully demonstrated, and even in a tough battle, he was able to save the team. In the quarterfinals of the UEFA Cup, facing Frankfurt, he played the most dazzling performance of Benfica's period, scored a hat trick, and assisted, taking charge of all four goals of the team. Throughout the season, Felix contributed 20 goals and 11 assists, and was selected as the Best Team for the Portuguese Super League, the Best Team for the Europa League and the Best Young Player of the Year, respectively. His debut was at his peak.

And in the summer of 2019, Felix was undoubtedly the hottest star. Many top giants wanted to get him. In the end, Atletico Madrid in La Liga used an astonishing transfer fee of 126 million euros to get the 19-year-old young man. Since then, Felix has also broken the highest record of Portuguese player transfer fee that Ronaldo has maintained for many years. In addition, Felix also won the European Golden Boy Award in the second half of the year, which is undoubtedly the best recognition of his ability. And in his first season at Atletico Madrid, he took over Griezmann and left, leaving behind the No. 7 jersey. Although he failed to continue his outstanding form during Benfica's period, in Atletico Madrid's first season, Felix still showed the level he should have as a golden boy. His style of play is relatively flexible, which is really eye-catching. He played 36 times throughout the season, contributing 9 goals and 6 assists in total. For a 20-year-old, this is a pretty good data list.

2. A conflict with Simeone and started a wandering career in a wealthy family.

The time comes to the 20-21 season. This year, Atletico Madrid seized the opportunity when Real Madrid and Barcelona were in a turbulent period and finally successfully won the La Liga championship. This championship is the greatest recognition for coach Simeone, and it is also the guarantee for him to continue to serve as the team coach. After all, being able to win the championship undoubtedly proves that his defensive counterattack system can still be popular. Felix still contributed 10 goals and 5 assists this season, but the conflict between him and Simeone has begun to emerge. Although the team won the championship, Felix did not play comfortably in this system. He is not willing to devote more energy to defense, but wants to display his talents in the midfield. In addition, in order to develop Felix's potential as much as possible, Simeone has also constantly tried to change his position, including wingers, shadow forwards, and front midfielders, and all positions. But the problem is that frequent position changes will only lead to the consequences of the seedlings being encouraged to grow. Therefore, even though Felix had 10 goals and 5 assists in the 21-22 season, the conflict between him and Simeone became increasingly deepened, and he was eventually rented out by the team outside the winter window of 2023.

And his first stop on loan was Chelsea, where he is now. However, unexpectedly, his debut was directly red and left the audience, disappointing the audience. Although there are occasional highlights throughout the season, it is still difficult to impress Chelsea with a total of 20 appearances and only 4 goals. With the expiration of the six-month loan contract, Felix, who had just returned to Atletico Madrid, was loaned to Barcelona by the team, and he rushed to Catalonia. However, after being loaned to Barcelona this time, Felix once allowed people to see the golden boy of Benfica. Xavi still had a lot of trust in him. Even if he only stayed here for one season, he still gave Felix a lot of opportunities. Felix did not disappoint him. In his 42 appearances, he contributed a total of 10 goals and 5 assists. Although he failed to help Barcelona win the championship, he was still selected for the La Liga best team of the season, which shows that Felix does have the ability. But unfortunately, because Atletico Madrid's asking price was too high, he failed to stay in Barcelona.

3. He entered the palace in Chelsea in less than a year and was given up again.

After returning to Atletico Madrid, the team intended to continue to rent him out, hoping that he could perform well while renting out, so as to sell as high as possible to make up for the loss of 126 million euros that year. However, after seeing Felix's outstanding performance at Barcelona, ​​Chelsea was moved. They quickly obtained the 24-year-old Portuguese international from Atletico Madrid with a transfer fee of 52 million euros.. This official transfer came to Stamford Bridge, and Felix hoped to continue his glory. In fact, he also had some outstanding performances when he was on the court. For example, in the European Union matches, he played brilliant goals and assists, and scored some goals in various cup matches. But this Chelsea midfielder is too bloated, but his body is too thin, coupled with insufficient explosive power and confrontational ability, it makes it difficult for him to gain an advantage in the Premier League. Although his data reached 7 goals and 2 assists halfway through the season, there was a lot of water, most of which came from weak teams, so Chelsea once again rented him out.

And this time, it was the Serie A giant team AC Milan that took over Felix. However, Milan this season is no longer the same as before. They have almost no advantage in the league, and they have lost their chains many times at critical moments. However, Felix's arrival did not help the team. In addition to scoring a single goal in the knockout stage of the eight-to-four in the Italian Cup, he fell into a long-term goal drought. When he opened his goal account in the league, it was already in the penultimate round, and he still faced Roma. He scored his first goal in his career after shooting, but the team still failed to win the game. In the last round, he scored a free kick and finally frozen his data in Milan at 3 goals. With the end of the season, he returned to Chelsea again, but it may be difficult for him to enter the palace three times, after all, the team is already actively selling itself. It has to be said that despite his outstanding talent and potential, he still couldn't fulfill it, Felix became an injured Zhongyong.
