DBasia.news – Atletico Madrid finally opened the door for Joao Felix in the January transfer market.
The player, who was signed from Benfica in 2019 and broke a club transfer record, was unable to live up to his 126 million euros price tag.
Even though manager Diego Simeone insists on keeping him, it now appears that Atletico will try to find an interest in the near future.
According to reports from Marca earlier this month, Bayern Munich became Felix’s first interest, with the Bundesliga champions said to have set aside 100 million euros to sign him.
Meanwhile, reports from Cadena SER claim that Atletico’s exit from the Champions League has put Felix’s position in jeopardy and the club wants to cash in on him.
The 22-year-old player’s contract at the Wanda Metropolitano currently runs until June 2026, but if his performances do not improve significantly, Atletico will certainly not hesitate to let him go.
However, finding clubs interested in Felix will definitely not be easy, as Los Rojiblancos want an offer above 80 million euros with Manchester United monitoring the forward’s situation.
Felix’s stats at Atletico
Since joining Atletico in 2019, Felix has appeared in 93 games in all competitions, registering 23 goals and 14 assists.
In addition, he has also only presented one title for Atletico, namely the 2020/21 La Liga trophy.
