Joao Felix

Chelsea are reportedly eyeing a transfer for Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix. And the Spanish club apparently want significantly less than reported.

Right, back to football now because Sterling has thankfully returned to the England setup in Qatar ahead of the quarterfinal showdown against trophy holders, France. This would be a more than fair investment for the west Londoners. Would Raheem Sterling’s role become threatened through the arrival of the Portuguese?

According to Relevo journalist Matteo Moretto and others, PSG were the first outfit to make a ‘move’. [The Pride of London](https://theprideoflondon.com/2022/12/07/chelsea-injury-news-reece-james-rlc/) would like to begin by firstly stating that we essentially endorse the signing of Felix at CFC.

Arsenal are in the mix to sign Portugal striker Joao Felix and Bayern Munich might have just opened the door a bit more for the Gunners.

And with Arsenal, you feel they need to push the boat out here and go for someone like Felix. However, Felix could cost big money, meaning the numbers would need to work for Edu and Mikel Arteta to push a deal through. With that, Arsenal need to sign someone else and Felix fits the bill. He has fallen out of favour a tad with Atletico and the Portuguese is said to be open to moving away from the La Liga side. He has shown his class at the World Cup. [Mundo Deportivo](https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/atletico-madrid/20221209/1001904806/descabalgan-bayern-carrera-joao-tapado-dar-sorpresa.html) reports that one of the interested parties from Europe, Bayern Munich, no longer have an interest in Felix.

His future was also thrust into the spotlight by Madrid CEO Gil Marin earlier this week, after he said: “João Felix has top level but because of his relationship with Simeone and game time… His performance came at a timely point in the tournament too, with transfer season upon us as "I don’t think he’s fulfilled his expected potential at [Atletico] Madrid.

One option being considered is presenting a loan offer in January with an obligation to make the move permanent. Initial conversations have focused on a €21million (£18.5million) package for the remainder of this season, with a €15million (£13.2million) loan fee going to Atletico, and the rest covering the player’s wages. The two London clubs are thought to be open to negotiating a loan deal worth around half of the current asking price from Atletico and the player. Simeone stated that if Felix brought his Portugal form back to Madrid, he would be a crucial part of the team. According to The current Premier League leaders see a deal for Felix as similar to the initial loan that brought Martin Odegaard from Real Madrid to the Emirates Stadium - with the north Londoners providing an opportunity for the player to reignite their career and potential to earn a permanent move in the summer. Arsenal have a 'secret agent' they can rely on to help persuade Joao Felix to sign for the Gunners in January.

[Manchester Evening News](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/wout-weghorst-man-united-transfer-25926996), Manchester United are interested in veteran centre-forward Wout Weghorst and Erik ten Hag's side are confident of completing a loan move for the Dutch international.

The issue facing both Newcastle and Villa is that the player wants [Champions League](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/champions-league) football and neither, this season at least, can offer that. Atletico bigwigs do not want to let Felix, 23, leave but they understand the situation between forward and his coach has become untenable. However, both clubs can offer him a significant increase on his salary in Madrid and Villa boss Unai Emery is keen to talk directly to him in a bid to convince him about a move to Villa Park. That has opened the door to a move with Felix open to a switch to the [Chelsea](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/chelsea-fc) and [Manchester United](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/manchester-united-fc), Mendes is now hoping to speak to [Newcastle](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/newcastle-united-fc) and Aston Villa to see what level of interest either club might have in his client.

Joao Felix has been linked with a handful of Premier League clubs ahead of the upcoming January transfer window.

His exit will also go a long way to balancing the books at Atletico by shifting his wage bill after they were dumped out of the Champions League in the group stages earlier this season. However, it remains to be seen where Felix will end up in the not-too-distant future, with all things currently pointing to a move away from Atletico at the turn of the year. Previous discussions have already been held with the likes of United and Chelsea, though, which suggests that they could still be in the frame to land Felix before the end of next month. Both clubs can provide Felix with a significantly increased salary, though, which could see money emerge as the deciding factor when the situation develops in January. Felix is widely expected to leave [Atletico Madrid](/latest/atletico-madrid-fc) next month after falling out with Diego Simeone and has been linked with a handful of Premier League clubs, including Manchester United and Chelsea, since the end of last season. Newcastle and Villa have emerged as the surprise contenders for Felix's signature in recent weeks, though, and it seems possible that a two-way battle could take shape when the transfer window reopens in January.

Latest reports claim that Atletico [could be open to the possibility of a loan deal](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-receive-major-joao-25710949) with an option to buy.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has confirmed that he wants to add a striker to his squad in the upcoming January transfer window.

The most prolific campaign of his career to date came during his final season at Benfica, where he notched 20 goals and registered 11 assists in 43 appearances. United, if they are to start adding more goals to their overall game, need to recruit a striker with a good pedigree and history of playing as a No.9 throughout his career. He is being heavily linked with a move to United, such is the uncertainty surrounding his future in the Spanish capital. Like Gakpo, he has played as a natural striker in flashes, but it is not his specialist area. His record in front of goal, however, might not to be too great a surprise to himself and those of an Atletico persuasion. Though he has impressed under [Ten Hag](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/erik-ten-hag) this term, his fitness issues have restricted him to just seven appearances in all competitions.

João Félix's relationship with Atlético Madrid manager Diego Simeone has broken down and the Portuguese could leave in January.

Félix’s ups and downs have left Simeone unconvinced, with the Argentinian coach looking for Antoine Griezmann-like performances from all his top players; their work-rate needs to match their talent. Despite PSG football advisor Luis Campos’ admiration for his compatriot, Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappé are the current front three and are nailed-on starters. A few days ago, CEO Miguel Ángel Gil Marín confirmed an open secret; there has been a breakdown in the relationship between the Argentinian boss and the Portuguese star and that only one of the two is likely to stay at the club come January. Jorge Mendes, Félix’s agent, has been working on his client’s future for the last few weeks and, according to sources close to him, is expected to notify Atlético of bids of around €100 million for the Portuguese playmaker. The World Cup has enhanced Félix’s reputation once again; he started the tournament as a substitute but ended it as a starter for Portugal, although his impressive performances didn’t lead to him getting on the scoresheet. Los Rojiblancos spent €127 million to acquire Félix’s services from Benfica, €57 million more than the €70 million they paid Monaco for Thomas Lemar in 2018.
