Per-Sports: Felix hopes to return to Benfica in the summer window, but the club cannot afford its high salary

June 17 According to the Spanish media Daily Sports, there is no space or a future in Chelsea, and Felix aims to leave Chelsea this summer. Felix hopes to return to Benfica after his most recent loan to AC Milan. Under Bruno Lager, the "golden boy" emerged as a record transfer. In the summer of 2019, Atletico Madrid paid nearly 130 million euros to Benfica.

Atletico Madrid took away an unquestionable genius, a front-end midfielder with the potential to create an era. But Felix stayed in the "potential" stage, and as time passed, it was getting farther and farther away from realizing its potential.

Therefore, Felix hopes to return to Benfica. Despite Felix's condition, Benfica welcomed him with open arms. However, it is not easy for Felix to return to the Light Stadium, and there are several constraints that make the deal difficult.

Benfica's current coach Bruno Lager said: "Felix has talked about this situation, and all players want to return to Benfica. We must create opportunities, and they must prove that they want to return to Benfica."

"We must coordinate these two wishes. The economic aspect is very important. Felix left for 120 million euros five years ago, and now there will be a cost, whether it is loan or transfer fee sharing. On the other hand, the players' salary. There are many wishes, but there are also economic issues, which affect both sides. Felix must understand that Benfica cannot pay his current salary."

Felix's contract with Chelsea lasts until June 30, 2031, with a total income of 8.84 million pounds per season, or slightly higher than 10.5 million euros, which is a salary that Benfica cannot afford. Bruno Lager has publicly asked Felix to make efforts if he wants to return to the club, so Felix must make a significant financial sacrifice in this regard.
