Joao Felix is not likely to play this season at Atletico Madrid. Either on transfer or on loan, the latter option being the most likely, he could end up back in the Premier League, where there are several teams interested in landing him.
The relationship between Joao Felix and Atletico is not improving and everything points to a return to the Premier League. Specifically, there are three teams interested in signing him on loan, according to ‘Sport’, which are Manchester United, Newcastle and Aston Villa.
At the moment, the ‘Colchoneros’ cannot find a buyer and the Portuguese player wants to return to England after his time at Chelsea. He scored 4 goals in 16 games with the Blues, with an irregular performance.
The striker knows that he does not count for Diego Simeone and it will be very difficult for him to get minutes. For this reason, he is looking for a way out and has already told his agent, Jorge Mendes. He hopes to find a team that plays in the Champions League this season.
Atletico Madrid‘s main objective is for a club to sign the Portuguese on a premanent deal, but the 100 million euros they are asking for his transfer is the big stumbling block. No club in Europe is going to pay that amount for a player who has been devalued.
