Joao Felix to have vital transfer meetings this week

Joao Felix is yet to determine his future, but there are chances for him to leave Atletico Madrid during the January transfer window. 

New meetings for a transfer are set to be held this week, and Premier League clubs such as Arsenal and Manchester United are interested in signing him. Chelsea have also been rumoured to be in the race, but they are focused on signing Enzo Fernandez from Benfica first. 

Big week ahead to determine Joao Felix transfer destination 

The likely option for the striker is to leave the Rojiblancos on a loan deal with the option to buy. Arsenal and Manchester United have already held preliminary talks with his agent, Jorge Mendes, but nothing advanced has been reached as of yet. PSG are not in the race to sign the forward as of now. 

Atletico Madrid’s president has spoken out on the issue, and has said that the player’s relationship with manager Diego Simeone is broken. Moreover, his motivation is also low, along with a difficult situation for the club, which has forced the club to sell him. 

While Joao Felix was once considered untouchable, he is now on the market like any other club. A €21 million sum, reportedly including his salary and loan fee, is what Atletico are demanding. And so far, this is proving to be a stumbling block in finalising a transfer. But, a final decision could be reached in the coming days.
