49erssports.com - Rumors of Joao Felix's departure from Atletico Madrid seem to be coming true. The young striker is reported to have made up his mind to leave the Wanda Metropolitano in January 2023.
Felix is entering his third year at Atletico Madrid. However, the Portuguese youth was later reportedly unhappy playing at Los Cholchoneros.
This is because the player's playing hours at Atletico Madrid are quite limited. He is also reported to be less comfortable with Diego Simeone's overly pragmatic playing style.
Reported by A Bola, Felix is already tired of this situation. He has made up his mind to move from Atletico Madrid.
Check out the full Felix transfer situation below.
Save Career
According to the report, Felix is determined to leave Atletico Madrid. He feels his career will not develop while in the Spanish capital.
He feels that his potential cannot be maximized because of Simeone's pragmatic playing style. As a result he wanted to leave the Wanda Metropolitano as soon as possible.
He has asked his agent to find a new club so he can move in the winter.
Prioritize to MU
The report claims that Manchester United are the leading club for Felix's services.
Felix is reportedly interested in the project Ten Hag is building at United. He also likes the Dutch manager's style of play, where he assesses his ability to develop with the manager.
In addition, Felix's agent, Jorge Mendes, has a good relationship with Manchester United. So he hopes this transfer can happen in the winter.
Expensive price
The same report claims that Felix's transfer to Manchester United will not be easy. Because Atletico Madrid want to sell him at a high price.
The La Liga giants are rumored to want to release Felix in the range of 90 million euros, while MU is reportedly quite reluctant to spend that much money in the winter.
