What happened to him here?
Maresca actually rated him highly as a skillful player. Maresca himself said that Palmer and Félix are the types of players fans come to watch

The club and Maresca agreed to buy him permanently for such a high fee with a contract until 2030. Does he need to be offloaded (to gain game time) because there's only one spot for him? And he has to compete directly with Palmer?

I think what happened is FFP. Essentially the club needed to get Gallagher's lovely HG money on the books. The only way to do it, was via an asset swap - which meant Felix coming in. 

However, Felix was only seen as an asset and not a real member of the squad as the club want to realise the £40m odd in actual cash at some point. Hence, he floated around the squad for a little while and was moved on asap. He wasn't ever really a player for us, despite being in the squad. 

I have said a few times, but people need to realise we are being run like an hedge fund investment. It is also why the majority of our purchases are 'spray and pray' type signings by and large.
