AC Milan want four Blues stars after Joao Felix as Conceicao plans an impressive rebuild

Joao Felix is ​​far from the only Chelsea star AC Milan are interested in, as they are also looking at several of his teammates including Christopher Nkunku and Ben Chilwell, TEAMtalk can reveal.

It emerged earlier this week that Milan are eyeing Chelsea striker Felix as an alternative to Manchester United star Marcus Rashford. Sources have now confirmed to TEAMtalk that Milan have contacted Chelsea to discuss a potential move for Felix in January.

The Rossoneri have installed Felix as their main target as new boss Sergio Conceicao is a great admirer of his Portuguese compatriot and knows him very well.

The fact that Jorge Mendes is the agent of both Conceicao and Felix should help facilitate the operation.

Milan aim to loan Felix with an option to buy. However, as things stand, Chelsea are holding out for a permanent transfer or a loan with an obligation to buy.

The two clubs are in negotiations and will continue to negotiate the margins for the move in the coming days.

Milan are also hoping to sign more players from the Blues.

TEAMtalk understands that Milan have also used their contacts to gather information on Chilwell, Carney Chukwuemeka, Nkunku and Tosin Adarabioyo.

Chilwell, Chukwuemeka on Milan’s radar

Chilwell is completely out of Enzo Maresca’s project and Milan have identified him as an option to strengthen the left-back position amid uncertainty surrounding Theo Hernandez. Milan hope to land Chilwell even if Hernandez extends his contract at San Siro.

Chukwuemeka, meanwhile, is a player that Milan have always been in the know about in recent months. As TEAMtalk reported at the start of the year, Milan have initiated contact with Chelsea for Chukwuemeka as Conceicao wants him in their midfield.

However, Milan will need to find a way to reduce the 21-year-old’s price from €35 million (£29.6m / $35.9m), while Antonio Conte is also keen to bring him to Napoli.

Nkunku is another Chelsea ace Milan are eyeing. With Monaco making an inquiry for Luka Jovic, Milan have decided on Nkunku as a possible replacement in attack.

Any such move would likely be an outright loan as Chelsea want £65m. (€76.8m / $79m) for the Frenchman. Bayern Munich have agreed personal terms with Nkunku, but are yet to reach an agreement with Chelsea.

Finally, there is central defender Tosin. Milan are spying a double deal for Tosin and Manchester City’s Kyle Walker to bolster their backline. That’s because Juventus are pursuing Fikayo Tomori, while Strahinja Pavlovic is a target for Fenerbahce.

Most of these deals are likely to be agreed via an initial loan followed by an option or commitment to buy in the summer.

Currently, Milan continue to work for Felix in the hope that Chelsea’s position can soften as the days go by.

Still, it is not out of the question that with the winter deadline approaching and the possible exits that could occur – Milan also have problems with slots outside the EU – the Rossoneri will take further concrete steps for at least one of the players they have gathered around. fresh information in recent days.

Chelsea transfers: Most recently Garnacho

Chelsea are looking to improve their attack if Nkunku leaves and have set their sights on Man Utd’s Alejandro Garnacho.

As per The telegraphChelsea and Napoli have both halted their pursuit of Garnacho amid concerns over his temperament.

Bruno Fernandes has previously questioned the winger’s attitude, resulting in his potential suitors seeking assurances before making multiple offers.

United want £60m (€70.9m / $73m) for the Argentine and have rejected two bids from Napoli so far.
