Chelsea's 'impossible' demands derailed Felix's Benfica return

Former Benfica manager Bruno Lage has opened up about the club's failed attempt to sign Joao Felix from Chelsea.

In an interview with A Bola, the 49-year-old coach was asked about the rumoured return of Felix. The ex-Swansea coach delved in the details, saying: "I started to believe Joao could come. He's arriving in Portugal, and I'm leaving on vacation. I was at the airport when I received his statement and called him. I spoke to him and told him that if he said that publicly, he was opening doors, and I would speak to the president to make his wishes come true, as it was everyone's wish. But Chelsea, which paid what it did for Joao, was always intransigent about the fees to be paid, and it would be very difficult for Benfica, despite having done almost everything possible to bring back a homegrown player. Joao showed a huge desire to return to Benfica and also understood the entire team I was trying to build, where he could be a very important piece, but Chelsea's demands were impossible."
