Joao Felix got his career back on track by joining <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">Barcelona</a> on loan from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atletico-madrid">Atletico Madrid</a> in the summer transfer window. Last season, the Portuguese spent time with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chelsea">Chelsea</a> but couldn’t find any success.



Now, the 23-year-old seems to be rediscovering the best version of himself under <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/xavi-hernandez">Xavi Hernandez</a>. With three goals and three assists in eight appearances, Felix is looking like his true self in Catalonia.



However, it seems that the forward feels he should have four goals instead of three. Joao Felix had a goal disallowed in the dying minutes of the 2-2 draw against Granada, and he doesn’t look happy about it.



<h2>Joao Felix shows frustration with disallowed goal on social media</h2>



The Portuguese star could have given Barcelona the victory with a successful header at the 92nd minute, but his goal was disallowed as VAR said Ferran Torres was offside. Felix showed discontent on social media, liking posts on X (formerly Twitter) questioning the decision.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="257" height="1024" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20231009_BUS_73668_joao-tw-257x1024.webp&amp;width=257&amp;height=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-73687" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/joao-tw-257x1024.jpg 257w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/joao-tw-75x300.jpg 75w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/joao-tw.jpg 386w" sizes="(max-width: 257px) 100vw, 257px"></figure></div></figure>



One of the posts compares the disallowed goal to one that was awarded to Real Madrid, while another image claims the ball was 4 meters above Torres so he didn’t interfere. Felix also liked a post saying the referee “robbed” Barca.

Joao Felix was supposed to lead a new generation of soccer stars after <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atletico-de-madrid">Atletico Madrid</a> paid a $140 million transfer fee to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/benfica">Benfica</a> in 2019. However, the Portuguese player hasn’t lived up to the expectations.



Diego Simeone had enough of Felix in Spain and, on January of 2023, he went to Chelsea on loan. Though the Blues built a stellar roster with names such as Enzo Fernandez or Mykhaylo Mudryk, the season ended in total failure. 


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230625#BUS#17614"></div>


Graham Potter was sacked, Frank Lampard didn’t change anything as interim coach and the club couldn’t qualify for any European competition. Now, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joao-felix">Joao Felix</a> might have hinted a massive move for his future and it could be far away from the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/premier-league">Premier League</a>.



<h2>Joao Felix ‘likes’ the arrival of Luis Enrique to PSG</h2>



This Friday, Joao Felix shocked on social media as he gave a like in a post published by Fabrizio Romano. It was a report of the famous journalist in which he almost guaranteed that Luis Enrique will be the new coach of PSG.







“Here we go: Luis Enrique. Paris Saint-Germain are prepared to seal agreement with Luis Enrique. He’s set to sign.” That was the message by Romano and, just a few minutes later, Joao Felix’s like was seen on Instagram. 


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230604#BUS#6312"></div>


Of course, no one knows the reason for him to do that and there isn’t a big connection between Joao Felix and Luis Enrique. However, during the last few days, many rumors have pointed out that PSG see the Portuguese player as the new face of the team considering Lionel Messi is out and Kylian Mbappe might go to Real Madrid.

Joao Felix 'hints' possible new club for him on Instagram

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mauricio-pochettino" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mauricio Pochettino</a> era at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chelsea" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chelsea</a> is off to a bang, as before there is good news there will be bad news for some. In a quote made by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atletico-de-madrid" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Atletico Madrid </a>president Enrique Cerezo, the fate of Joao Felix has been decided.



Joao Felix joined Chelsea on loan in the winter and while the club was looking to make the move permanent, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/report-mauricio-pochettino-already-has-new-strikers-in-mind-for-chelsea-20230529-BUS-4817.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pochettino</a> arrived and terminated all talks, and the loan is now officially over.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230530#BUS#4969"></div>


“The truth is that I can’t tell you the plan with Joao… It’s the news we had yesterday that the new coach doesn’t count on him for Chelsea. We don’t have anything planned yet; Joao is an Atletico player now” Cerezo said.



<h2>Joao Felix’s Chelsea numbers</h2>



Joao Felix’s time at Chelsea, like much of the season for the squad was a disappointment, nonetheless the Portuguese star managed 4 goals in 16 Premier League games. Despite arriving at the club in the winter Joao Felix was the team’s third leading scorer.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230529#BUS#4817"></div>


Chelsea is rumored to also be selling USMNT winger Christian Pulisic to Juventus at a bargain price of only 20-million-pounds according to ESPN. Chelsea has around 20 players they are looking to offload that are on the first team or currently on loan.

The 2022-23 season is almost down, and Portugal international <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Joao-Felix-joins-Lionel-Messi-and-Luis-Suarez-on-very-unfortunate-list-20230113-0014.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Joao Felix</a> will soon have to start making preparations for the offseason. His loan from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atletico-de-madrid" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Atletico Madrid</a> to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chelsea" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chelsea</a> is due to end unless the Blues can find an arrangement with the Spanish club to keep using the forward.



The 23-year-old, though, is reportedly uncertain whether or not his time at Stamford Bridge will be extended. However, the London club is now in the 11th position and will not qualify for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/champions-league" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">UEFA Champions League</a> next season despite the player’s desire to compete in the tournament.



The rumor mill has it that he would return to Spain this summer, but it doesn’t seem like he has a future there. Felix will be the subject of interest from other teams but the possibility of the Colchoneros getting back more than €90 million for him on a permanent deal has been called into question, though.



<h2>What did Joao Felix say regarding Newcastle links?</h2>



Joao Felix had been linked to a move to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/newcastle-t170529" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Newcastle</a> this week after the club reportedly offered him a chance to remain in the Premier League for the next campaign. An Instagram post by Portuguese source Eleven Sports included a mocked-up photo of the player in a Magpies shirt, prompting a response from the ex-Benfica academy player.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230428#CMS#0021"></div>


Felix, however, turned to Instagram to downplay the report, so we may discount them for the time being. He laughed at the remarks, writing, “Just a bunch of know-it-alls!”

At this pace, the club might finish empty handed for European competitions towards next season. Just a few days ago, they were crushed 4-0 by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Pep-Guardiola-removes-English-player-out-of-squad-after-returning-overweight-from-World-Cup-20221224-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Manchester City</a> in the third round of the FA Cup.
Last September, when the first signs of turmoil appeared, the front office madea surprising decision and firedThomas Tuchel. Then, after a great tenure with Brighton, Graham Pottertook the coaching job. As expected, the winter transfer market was going to be crucial for the new project.
However, things haven’t gone as expected for<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Graham-Potter-confirms-how-long-USMNT-star-Christian-Pulisic-will-be-out-of-action-20230111-0014.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chelsea</a>. That’s why the team is making quick and massive moves such as the arrival of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Joao-Felix-joins-Chelsea-on-loan-from-Atletico-Madrid-20230110-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joao Felix</a>.

<h2>Will Christian Pulisic leave Chelsea after the signing of Joao Felix?</h2>
With the signing of Joao Felix, and the recent knee injury suffered by Christian Pulisic, rumors started to swirl. Pulisic is out at least twomonths and his contract expires on June of 2024. So, Chelsea have to make a decision soon if they wishto keep or not the USMNT star.
If they want to get something in return, next summer might be the last window to transfer Christian Pulisic. So, with a crowded attack since the arrival of Joao Felix, Graham Potter faced the definitive question. Will Christian Pulisic leave Chelsea after his injury?
“No chance. No. There was never any consideration of anything about that anyway. He isdisappointed, but he is optimistic that he can come back quicker than the two months. So, he isin that phase where he isjust trying to keep his fingers crossed and hopefully his rehab goes well.”

Chelsea is 10th in the Premier League and have lost 3 of their last 5 and recently were defeated twice in a week by Manchester City.
According to transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano the deal is until June 2023 and was done for €11 million fee with 100% of João Félix’s salary covered by Chelsea.
<h2>What does João Félix’s arrival mean to Chelsea?</h2>
At a first glance it’s just one more attacking option in a long line of attacking options. Chelsea already has a stacked side, on paper, with players who have not paid off. Mason Mount is at 3 goals this season and a dwindling level of play.
<div style="text-align:center">

</div>
Raheem Sterling has had slightly better production with 6 goals in 22 matches. Christian Pulisic may lead the stats column in a lot of senseless categories but 1 goal and 2 assists in 16 matches is poor production.
Graham Potter is hoping that João Félix can provide creativity in attack and get Chelsea going, the club has only scored 20 goals in the Premier League this season.

So far, so good for Portugal. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/South-Korea-vs-Portugal-Probable-lineups-for-Qatar-2022-World-Cup-Group-G-game-20221130-0041.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fernando Santos’ team</a> was asked to make a statement early in the Qatar 2022 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/world-cup-2022-simulator" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FIFA World Cup,</a> and they haven’t disappointed thus far, going 2 for 2 with a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/portugal-vs-uruguay-tv-channel-how-and-where-to-watch-or-live-stream-online-free-qatar-2022-world-cup-in-your-country-20221127-0055.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">couple of wins</a> in as many games.
The Portuguese side put up an impressive offensive display vs. Ghana, reaching a 3-2 win that should’ve been more lopsided. Then, they managed to crack Uruguay’s pesky and physical defense en route to a convincing 0-2 win.
That triumph secured Portugal’s presence in the knockout stage of the competition, and they only need a tie <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/South-Korea-vs-Portugal-TV-Channel-how-and-where-to-watch-or-live-stream-online-free-Qatar-2022-World-Cup-in-your-country-20221201-0043.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vs. South Korea</a> to clinch the first spot in the group. Needless to say, that gives the coach the freedom to make some adjustments.
<h2>Qatar 2022: Why Isn’t Joao Felix Playing Vs. South Korea?</h2>
With that in mind, it seems like Fernando Santos has looked to preserve some of his best players. That’s why Joao Felix is nowhere to be seen in the Starting XI, as there’s no point in risking injury from one of their top playmakers.
There’s still a chance we get to see the Atletico Madrid star at some point in the game, especially if the Portuguese are trailing. However, maybe saving him for the Round of 16 is the wisest choice here.

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, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/erling-haalands-incredible-release-clause-revealed-20221011-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Haaland</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/kylian-mbappe-wants-out-of-psg-in-january-according-to-report-20221011-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mbappé</a>.

This season in LaLiga the versatile attacking player is snake eyes when it comes to goals, 0 goals in 8 matches and 3 assists. João Félix’s playing time has slowly diminished and there are rumors of issues with coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/serie-a-diego-simeones-first-club-in-europe-as-coach-no-longer-exists-20220411-0033.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Diego Simeone</a>. Spanish radio station El Partidazo is reporting the rift between the two is at a point of no return and João Félix is looking to leave in January after the World Cup.
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.
<h2>Rumored landing spots for João Félix</h2>
If João Félix does indeed leave Atlético Madrid, it will most likely be at a loss for the club. Manchester United has been a rumored destination, but the player’s price tag may be out of reach for the Red Devils.

He made his way to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/atletico-de-madrid-t133215" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Atletico Madrid</a> in the summer of 2019 from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/benfica-t171" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Benfica</a> for$144 million. But two years later, Joao Felix finds himself in a tough spot at the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/la-liga-t48" target="_blank" rel="noopener">La Liga</a> 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 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/premier-league-t45" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Premier League</a> clubs who would like to acquire his services.

<h2>Report: Four Premier League clubs interested in Atletico’s Joao Felix</h2>
With <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/antoine-griezmann-t8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Antoine Griezmann</a> ahead of him, Joao Felix is believed to feel uncomfortable at Atleti and his camp would want to get him a new club. According to Cadena SER, four teams have shown interest.
<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/manchester-united-t10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Manchester United</a>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/liverpool-t26467" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Liverpool</a>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/arsenal-t418" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Arsenal</a>, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/newcastle-t170529" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Newcastle</a> have all reportedly inquired about the Portuguese forward, whose contract with Atletico Madrid is up in 2026. Of course, that will make things complicated for any interested team.
Besides, Atletico reportedly want to keep Felix despite his representatives’ intentions. But if they insist, the Colchoneros would only accept an offer that gets close to the fee they paid for him two years ago. The report adds thattheMagpies made the highest bid but Felix wouldn’t be interested.
Joao Felix still has a bright future ahead of him and even thoughhis appearances have been limited with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/griezmann-saul-and-the-most-interesting-last-minute-summer-transfer-signings-in-europe-20210901-0020.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Griezmann’s arrival</a>, he’s still a valuable asset for Atletico and a powerful alternativefor Simeone.

As far-fetched as it sounds according to TV3’s Onze television show, Barcelona have contacted the bosses at Atlético Madrid to discuss “trading” the French World Cup winner for the Portuguese prodigy.
On the program it was stated that Félix’s agent could push the move as each club paid similar amounts for both players at their respective times. Nonetheless the story of both players at the moment is vastly different.
Antoine Griezmann has not lived up to expectations at Barcelona, scoring only 21 goals in 70 games, a far cry from the productivity that Luis Suarez, Barcelona’s last key forward had. The program indicated that Barcelona is keen to offload the Frenchman and want to renegotiate his contract at a reduced salary.
At 21, João Félix is being brought along slowly at Atlético Madrid, considered one of the top prospects in the world, the Portuguese star has 13 goals in 56 games and has been electric for Atlético Madrid. If sold, Félix would have a much higher transfer fee attached to him in the market than Griezmann. Although the lure of playing with Messi might be a good enough reason for Félix to make the switch if his agent pushes hard for it.
Barcelona will have another difficult offseason, with Messi’s contract, the search for new talent, and a possible coaching change all on the table. For Atlético Madrid they might be entering next season as La Liga champions, something that might have enough weight to keep the squad together.
