Joao Felix says he “pushed him strongly” to join AC Milan on a loan from Chelsea and found that he would like to stay with Giants Serie and the past this summer.
The Portuguese internationary secured the transition to Milan on the day of the transfer day and went down from the bench to score against Roma on Hus Debia in Coppa Italia before the first Serie became the beginning against Empoli.
Felix joined Chelsea from Atletico Madrid last summer, but fought during the game under Enzo Maresca, starting three times in the Premier League.
And he had already felt the love of a supporter from going to Italy, the 25-year-old said he had already wanted to make his move permanent.
Felix said in his official discovery: “For now, I’m on loan by June. Let’s see how it goes. I really really enjoy everything at the moment: club, people, content.
“I welcomed very well. The most important thing is to be where I feel good and I feel good here.
“Then things can change in football, but if there is a possibility of staying in Milan, I would like it.”
“I was hard to push myself to come here. I want to give everything for this club,” Portuguese added.
“I already knew (Sergio) Conceicao. His passion is infectious. And the victory is important.
“Kaka was always my idol. I saw myself in it and tried to imitate it.”

At the positive beginning of life in Milan, Felix added: “We had two wins. I had the opportunity to play in San Siro and score for Milan.
“I knew about the size of this club, Milan is huge. From the outside, you can see that it is a very big club, and when you are inside, realize that you are in one of the biggest clubs in Europe.
“I already knew the coach, I played against him and I followed him.
“I told him what I was expecting: playing in my role. He never told me if I would play a lot or a little, but play in my role. It convinced me to come to Milan.”
Maresca: We don’t miss Felix
Chelsea chief seems to be unlikely to stand on Felix’s path if he wants to leave Stamford Bridge permanently, and Italian suggested that they have enough quality in the team.
He said, “I don’t think we miss Joao. Joao is happy there and we’re happy Joao is happy there.
“We had two injuries to the striker on the day of Rok, something hard to think. Nico (Jackson) can be back quickly.
“Sometimes I think you need to play some players without players to understand how important they are. Given the ball, his (Jackson) pressure is always very good and the ball is always a threat.”
