Joao Felix (22) in Bayern Munich? It may seem like a totally unrealistic story now, but the realization of the big deal was not so far away only a few months ago. A respectable Spanish ‘Marca’ had insider’s information according to which Georges Mendes a super-agent who also represents Cristiano Ronaldo, spent several days during the summer transfer window at the Atletico stadium and brought the club’s leaders an official offer of the German champion weighing around 100 million euros!🚨 | Atlético Madrid rejected an offer of €100 million from Bayern Munich in the summer for João Félix.Atlético rejected it instantly with the hope that he would “explode” this season. As per @marca 🗞️ pic.twitter.com/CbTgjKqEsY— Próxima Jornada (@ProximaJornada1) October 29, 2022 All this, according to a famous newspaper, was happening after it became clear that Robert Lewandowski is leaving for Barcelona. Although they are not players of the same profile, Bayern’s scouting service estimated that the young Portuguese would be a serious reinforcement for the attack and that at one point he would become the legitimate successor of Thomas Muller.Cold war between Felix and Simeone: He is not even the fifth sub with 0-0 on the scoreboardThe first man of Atletico Enrique Cerezo thought for a few days, and then definitely sent a negative answer to Munich. Bayern did not want to haggle, negotiate, or raise the offer, which put an end to that story. From this perspective, it looks like a terrible decision. Months later, we have a crisis in the club, mainly due to a bad relationship between that same Felix and coach Diego Simeone. The Argentine is unhappy with recent commitment of the young star and hasn’t been hiding it for some time. Although he tries to justify his move to the bench with the good games of other players:”Our relationship has not changed at all. His teammates who compete with him for a position in the team are currently better and I, as a coach, have to notice that” Cholo said.No way! Bayern are trying to lure Gundogan – and plan to pay nothing to get him off Manchester City##NAJAVA_MECA_6767635##Felix’s minutes decreased as the season progresses, while his dissatisfaction grows. The former Benfica first team player did not justify almost 130 million euros invested in him during the past three seasons at the club. Cerezo guessed that this is the season when the young superstar will show top potential. Instead, relegation from the starting 11 happened. Many people in the club believed that the offer had to be accepted, not only because of this situation, but mainly due to the bad financial situation, which would allow the club to strengthen other positions in the team. And this decision may yet come back to haunt Cerezo.
