The 23-year-old forward is expected to quit Atletico Madrid due to his deteriorating relationship with boss Diego Simeone. He spent last season on loan at Chelsea.
The Premier League's powerhouses, though, have chosen not to make Felix's loan arrangement permanent, leaving the Portuguese star's future in doubt.
The Blues prioritized shrinking their team this summer since it had grown to more than 30 players, and they thought Felix was unnecessary.
As a result, Felix, who scored just four goals in 20 games, could have to settle for a middle-tier team, according to the Spanish news outlet Marca.
Marca reports that Aston Villa and Wolves are the front-runners to sign the 23-year-old forward on a temporary basis this summer.
Following the agreement to play in the Europa Conference League for the 2023–2024 season, Villa manager Unai Emery is reportedly interested in signing Felix.
Emery is confident he can resurrect the 23-year-old's career at Aston Villa after being impressed with his early performance at Atletico Madrid.
Jorge Mendes, Felix's agent, is thought to be well-connected to the Wolves' management and may be able to facilitate a trade.
In a £113 million transfer from Benfica to Atletico in 2019, Felix became a member of the Madrid-based team.
But things didn't turn out the way he had hoped. Felix therefore signed a loan deal with Chelsea during the January transfer window.

Felix scored four goals in 16 Premier League games while playing for Chelsea, but Pochettino decided against putting the 23-year-old on a long-term contract.
Atletico made Felix available to Newcastle at the end of May as a result, but the Magpies don't seem eager to sign a player who struggled in the Premier League.
