Atletico Madrid is willing to let go of Joao Felix for a reported fee of 86 million pounds. Manchester United has been touted as the frontrunner to sign the player this summer as they look to bolster their attacking options.
United however now faces stiff competition from Paris Saint Germain and Bayern Munich. The move can only have been attributed to Felix’s relationship with his manager Diego Simeone going sour.
The conflict between Joao Felix and his manager has only turned to the worst which leaves no other choice for the player.
With three teams in the lead, it was found out that United had already made an offer of 130 million euros last summer, which was rejected by Atletico Madrid.
PSG is said to be in contact with his agent, Jorge Mendes, while trying to convince him to join the French side.
I’m sure United are taking it into consideration as well; I know they tried to sign him a year ago. United could really use a player like him right now.
Ten Hag will look to add to his attacking options in January as he has encountered many difficulties throughout the season.
It has been a season where Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract has been terminated, Jadon Sancho’s form has dropped beyond what the manager expected, and Martial hardly ever sticks around to be played enough.
Joao Felix’s record-breaking transfer fee for Atletico Madrid has put a heavy burden on him, and his lackluster performance has not helped either.
Joao Felix’s performance in Portugal has been great so far, having scored and assisted while playing three games.
His game against Ghana was quite exciting, while he had a sub-par performance against Uruguay.
His performance in La Liga has been questionable for Diego Simeone and the manager seems like he is willing to let him go.
