Former Chelsea defender Marcel Desailly has urged 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 a move elsewhere in a bid to rescue his career.
Felix is currently on loan at AC Milan, where he has failed to make any kind of impact since arriving in the January transfer window.
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 could be one of several names expected to leave Chelsea this summer, with the likes of Jadon Sancho, Raheem Sterling, and Ben Chilwell also expected to be moved on.
