Manchester United are considering a late move for Joao Felix in the January transfer window.
The Portuguese forward has struggled for consistent game time at Chelsea, leading to speculation that he could move elsewhere.
Felix, capable of playing in various attacking roles, could provide United with much-needed creativity and depth in the final third.
Chelsea Struggles and Limited Opportunities
At Chelsea, Felix has failed to secure a starting position under manager Enzo Maresca.
Despite a solid spell at Barcelona last season, where he contributed 16 goals, Felix has not been able to replicate that form at Stamford Bridge.
His limited involvement in the Premier League could prompt a change in scenery.
Jorge Mendes’ Influence on the Deal
Joao Felix’s agent, Jorge Mendes, has strong ties with Manchester United.
Mendes played a role in bringing several key players to Old Trafford, such as Bruno Fernandes.
His connection to the club could be crucial in pushing Felix’s potential move, especially considering United’s need for more attacking firepower.
Will the Deal Happen?
United’s current squad has shown signs of weakness in attack, with Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Højlund struggling to find consistency.
While a move for Felix could address these concerns, the financials around his wages and the short-term nature of the deal could make the transfer complex.
