Chelsea forward Joao Felix has admitted that he wants to return to boyhood club Benfica in an attempt to regain some form following his disastrous move.
The 25-year-old joined Chelsea from Atletico Madrid on a permanent basis last summer but joined AC Milan on loan in January.

Milan decided against activating their option to buy Felix following a string of disappointing performances, but he still looks set to leave West London soon.
Felix has now spoken about his desire to move to Lisbon, saying: "The whole world knows that Benfica is my favourite team. It's my home. One day I will return.
“I don't know if it's now or in a few years, but if it were now I would be very happy. There are two options: either I stay in England or I return to Benfica."
His wage demands and potential transfer fee could prove to be a hinderance, however, and he will likely have to take a pay cut.
