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/topic/antoine-griezmann" 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.

Atletico Madrid: Joao Felix reportedly draws interest from Premier League giants - Bolavip US

The Spanish La Liga season isn’t even over yet but already <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/barcelona-t11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barcelona</a> is looking ahead to next season, after a rather dismal 2020-2021. Joan Laporta will have a lot on his plate, most importantly keeping Lionel Messi.
Aside from “Operation keep Messi at Barcelona”, Laporta will also be making key decisions when it comes to the current squad and head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/barcelona-ronald-koeman-s-job-could-be-at-risk-as-the-club-has-been-in-contact-with-a-coach-la-liga-20210513-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ronald Koeman, who is in the hot seat</a> and according to various reports may not be back next season.
On the to-do list for Barcelona is the signing of a striker, and with the club in economic turmoil, spending may be out of the question, and player swapping might be the best card the club has at their disposal. Here is the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/atletico-de-madrid-t133215" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Atlético Madrid</a> striker Barcelona would like to sign on a player swap.

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.
