For a time João Félix was the next big thing, the talented Portuguese winger was slated to be in the company of some of the world’s top young talents, Haaland and Mbappé. That has not happened per say, while a great soccer player João Félix has yet to really break out.

Offers have always been on the table for João Félix, who cost Atlético Madrid €126 million three years ago. Félix’s results have been healthy at 21 goals in 90 matches for the club. Here are a few destinations rumored for João Félix.
