João Félix is ​​no longer in the small papers of Atlético de Madrid and is desperately looking for a club. A solution could be found on the Portuguese side.

João Félix’s story with Atlético de Madrid is coming to an end. Recruited for 130 million euros at Benfica in the summer of 2019, the Portuguese international has never been able to confirm the immense hopes placed in him. So much so that the Colchoneros no longer count on him and that a way out has been sought for several weeks, without a solution for the moment. If João Félix dreams of joining FC Barcelona, ​​the operation seems too complicated on a strictly financial level. Suddenly, his former club knocked on his door.

As reported AS this Sunday, Benfica reported to the Lusitanian to offer him a return. Not for a permanent transfer, but rather a loan. The Spanish media indicates that the possibility of such an operation is complicated but that the optimism of the leaders of the Lisbon club is greater than it was a month ago on the subject. While Benfica sold Gonçalo Ramos to Paris Saint-Germain this summer, a place became available as the club’s coffers filled.

OK for an effort

According to ASBenfica would therefore be willing to “ make an economic effort “to satisfy the claims of Atlético de Madrid who wants that, if João Félix leaves on loan, the club which welcomes him takes care of his salary. Case to follow.
