Marcel Desailly, a former French and Chelsea player, has urged utility player, Joao Felix to leave the Blues after failing to make an impact at Stamford Bridge.

Desailly insisted that the 25-year-old lacks character and should seek to join Paris Saint-Germain in the summer.

Felix is currently playing for AC Milan on loan from Chelsea.


The Portugal international has struggled in Italy so far this season.

Speaking to Milan Presse, Desailly said: “Joao Felix is a player with great talent, but he has still not found his place.

“He is been at Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, now AC Milan, without making any real impact. I would suggest [he join] Paris Saint-Germain.

“What Joao Felix lacks is not technique, but character. He’s not a leader. At this moment, he is not what Milan need, because he lacks the mental strength to revive the Rossoneri. And vice versa.”

Felix has played for Atletico Madrid and Barcelona in the past.
