Far from having been convincing with Chelsea over the past six months, Joao Felix has made his return to Atlético Madrid against his will. But since he rested his foot in Madrid, the Portuguese striker has been navigating in troubled waters. On the sidelines of his coach Diego Simeone’s plans, the 23-year-old does not want to drag on with the Colchoneros and hopes to relaunch elsewhere. After expressing his interest in Paris Saint-Germain, the Lusitanian has publicly declared his intention to join FC Barcelona this summer. Unfortunately for him, he came up against the refusal of the Catalan club which prioritizes the arrival of Bernardo Silva and believes that the market value of the ex-Benfica striker is well above his means.
Considered one of the greatest talents of his generation after appearing in the colors of Benfica Lisbon, Joao Felix has become undesirable at Atlético Madrid. As mentioned brand this Wednesday, the Portuguese displays a much less radiant face than at his debut in 2019 to such an extent that he lives away from the group, whether in training or during collective meals, only “his phone and his music end up being his only companions” adds the Spanish media. From pariah to star, there is sometimes only one step.
