THE end of Joao Felix’s loan spell at Chelsea has coincided with confirmation he and stunning girlfriend Margarida Corceiro are no longer together.
Actress and model Margarida said they would remain friends in an emotional social media post but revealed they had put an end to their four-year romance “some time ago.”

Confirmation of the split came after the pretty 20-year-old was reportedly spotted being driven around Monaco by Formula 1 star Lando Norris.
In May last year she was forced to deny rumours she had cheated on Joao, set to return to Atletico Madrid, with then-team-mate Pedro Porro who is now at Tottenham.
Portuguese beauty Margarida, who started dating her striker ex-boyfriend in 2019 when she was just 17 and he was 20, wrote late on Saturday alongside an old photo of them together: “Joao and I achieved goals together for a few years, in a phase of change, growth and learning.
“Not having been together as a couple for some time, I am lucky enough to be a part of his life.
“We appreciate all the messages from those who really care about us. We are fine, happy and friends as we always were.”
The footballer has yet to comment on his social media.
Rumours of a split intensified in the couple’s homeland when Joao Felix flew to Ibiza recently for an end-of-season holiday with friends instead of Margarida.
A Portuguese TV presenter claimed earlier this week before the actress’ social media split post that they were no longer an item and the break-up had begun about six months ago.

New Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino opted against keeping Felix on following his loan spell.
He is expected to return to Atletico Madrid, although recent reports said the 23-year-old could end up at Newcastle on another loan deal.
Atletico de Madrid president Enrique Cerezo said last week: “We’ve been informed that Pochettino does not count with Joao Felix for Chelsea.
“He will return here and then we’ll see what happens. We have got nothing planned.”
