The Joao Felix case annoys Atlético de Madrid

Atlético de Madrid are losing patience for Joao Felix! Having become unwanted in the Spanish capital, the Portuguese striker joined the ranks of FC Barcelona in the form of a loan with an option to buy. If since then, the Lusitanian international (33 caps, 7 goals) has found color with the reigning Spanish champion, he remains a real headache for his former team. As we mentioned last week, the 23-year-old player seems to meet the expectations of Catalan leaders who are increasingly thinking of keeping him at a reduced price.

While Atlético de Madrid is demanding nearly €80 million to definitively part with it next summer, Barça does not intend to satisfy the demands of its Madrid counterpart as the Catalan club has limited financial means. While Barça plans to negotiate a new loan, it can count on the complicity of the Portuguese who is happy in Catalonia and who does not intend to turn back. Sport indicates in particular that in the event of forced return, Joao Felix will not study any proposal from abroad. A situation which annoys the Colchoneros, determined to make a profit from the sale of a player recruited for more than €100 million in 2019.
