Atletico Madrid will not let Joao Felix leave the club cheaply as they reportedly eyes a substantial transfer fee from Barcelona for the skillful Portugal forward.
The 23-year-old has enjoyed an impressive beginning to his career since joining Barcelona on a season-long loan from La Rojiblancos, following a disagreement with Diego Simeone.
In three matches spanning various competitions with Barcelona, Felix, who arrived on the loan deadline day, has netted three goals and provided an assist, solidifying his status as a pivotal figure in Xavi’s present squad.
According to reports, Atletico Madrid is expected to request €80 million for the permanent acquisition of the forward next summer, as the 23-year-old expresses a strong desire to continue with the current La Liga champions.
Felix is still under contract with Atlético Madrid until 2029, but the Spanish club is eager to sell him next summer.
