Joāo Felix is unsure if he has a future at Chelsea or not.
The Portuguese international joined the Premier League club from Atlético Madrid in January on loan, with the loan fee reported to be £8 million.
He was sent off on his debut for Fulham for a reckless tackle and had to serve a three match ban, but returned for the London derby at West Ham United on Saturday, and was one of the three Chelsea new signings named in their Champions League squad.
He scored his first goal for his new club in their draw at West Ham on Saturday.
However, the loan arrangement with the Spanish club does not include an option to buy.
Felix became one of the most expensive footballers in the world when he moved from Benfica to Atlético as a teenager in 2019, but he has struggled to adapt to the style of play under Diego Simeone and the relationship between the pair had broken down badly by the time that he left for London.
