Not retained by FC Barcelona, João Félix should not, however, remain at Atletico Madrid. The 24-year-old player does not want to play again for Diego Simeone, with whom the relationship is not at its best. Fortunately for him, a club he knows very well would like to repatriate him. According to information from Manha Mailrelayed by SportJoão Félix would be very close to a return to Benfica, his training club.
The Lisbon club would have made an offer of 30 million euros for the purchase of 50% of the player’s rights, to bring their jewel home, five years after his departure to the Colchoneros for 127 million euros. Also according to the Portuguese media, Barça was willing to pay 20 million euros to sign the Portuguese permanently, ready to wait for them. But Benfica’s offer changed João Félix’s desires, now eager to return home.
