Atletico Madrid will sell Joao Felix as soon as possible. Because Felix is no longer suitable for the coach Diego Simon.
Felix signed from Benfica in July 2019 for a club record €126m. However, Felix failed to give his best performance as he strengthened Atletico.
This season, Felix has managed just five goals and five assists in 22 appearances. The 23-year-old player has mostly been reserved by Simeone.
During three years of building Atletico Madrid, Felix managed just 33 goals and 18 assists in 129 appearances. This is what suggests Felix’s future at Atletico Madrid.
In addition, the question of the breakup of her relationship with Simeone is heating up this season. Atlético officials have not remained silent given Felix’s condition.
Therefore, Atletico decided to let Felix go if there was a suitable offer. Because, if Felix is retained, he will have a bad impact on the club.
“Joao Felix it is the club’s transfer record. I personally consider him an amazingly talented, world-class player,” said Atletico Madrid CEO Miguel Angel Gil Marin ESPN.
“Due to various things like his relationship with Simeone, his playing time, his motivation, he hasn’t been able to shine. So naturally you think that if there is the best option for the club and the player, then we will sell it”.
“Personally, I would like him to stay. But I don’t think the players feel that way.”
