He made his way to Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2019 from Benfica for$144 million. But two years later, Joao Felix finds himself in a tough spot at the La Liga giants as he has dropped in Diego Simeone‘s pecking order.

The 22-year-old’s talent is undeniable but he has only shown glimpses of itwith the Colchoneros. Whether that’s due to his injuries or because of the Argentinian manager’s style of play, it looks like Felix has fallen short of expectations in Madrid and he’s not comfortable with his current situation.

According to As, the Portuguese star’s representatives will try to convince the club to let him leave in the next transfer window or during the summer. Needless to say, a player like Felix won’t be lacking in offers, and reports claim there are four Premier League clubs who would like to acquire his services.
