AC Milan made several moves in the final days of the January transfer window, securing multiple signings while also offloading key players. The club finalized a deal for João Félix, bringing in the Portuguese forward on loan from Chelsea until the end of the season. Negotiations were intense, with super-agent Jorge Mendes playing a crucial role. Milan agreed to cover Félix’ full wages, though the agreement did not include a purchase option despite Chelsea’s preference for one.

Milan had already strengthened its squad earlier by signing right-back Kyle Walker and striker Santiago Giménez from PSV. The club further bolstered its attack by reaching an agreement with Fiorentina for winger Riccardo Sottil, who joined on loan with a €10 million buy option available in the summer. Meanwhile, Monza midfielder Warren Bondo also arrived at Milan’s training facility after the club closed a deal worth €10 million plus €2 million in bonuses.
There were notable departures as well. Ismael Bennacer moved to Marseille on loan for €1 million, with an additional €12 million plus €3 million in bonuses agreed for a potential permanent transfer. Milan also sent Noah Okafor to Napoli on loan for €2 million, with a €25 million purchase option that could see the Swiss international sign a long-term deal with the Serie A champions until 2029. Additionally, Álvaro Morata left the club to join Galatasaray on loan for the remainder of the season.
