Not long ago, head coach Bruno Lager, who was fired by Benfica two weeks ago, was interviewed by The Globe, which talked about the reason why Felix's transfer to Benfica failed this summer.

He said: "I really believed Felix could return at first. He was coming to Portugal and I was about to go on vacation."

"I was at the airport and I called him after seeing the public statement issued by Felix in an interview. I told Felix that if he really said this publicly, it would be a door that I would communicate with the club president and work hard to realize his wish, because it was also our wish."

"Why did the negotiation break Frac? Chelsea spent a lot of money to introduce Felix, and they have always been very persistent in asking prices, but this is very difficult for Benfica. Although the club has almost tried its best to bring the youth training player back. "

" Felix expressed a strong desire to return and understood the team I wanted to build. He could have become a very important member of Benfica, but Chelsea's requirements are really impossible to meet."
