Arsenal is currently one of the favorites to recruit Atlético Madrid’s Joao Félix
How much the English side is able to pay is the problem. Instead of picking the ideal location for the player, Atlético is more concerned with recouping the €127 million investment they made in him. The outstanding Portuguese player must fetch at least €100 million, according to the Spanish club.
According to rumours, PSG has already contacted the player’s agent, Jorge Mendes, and a number of English clubs are also reportedly interested. Bayern Munich put €100 million on the table in the summer to position themselves in the race; it is unknown if they will participate in it as well.
Atlético CEO Miguel Angel Gil Marin decided against taking the German side’s offer because he saw that now was not the time to leave. Félix is reportedly one of the players who both Arsenal and Aston Villa are pursuing.
On December 22, Atlético return to Copa del Rey play, and it is unknown if Diego Simeone will start Joao Félix, who has spent much of the season on the bench.
The Portugal international scored against Ghana in the tournament’s first match, and he also contributed two assists against Switzerland in the round of 16.
