The dissatisfaction is mutual: neither Joao Felix likes the status he has with Diego Simeone, nor is the coach of Atletico Madrid happy with what he gets on the pitch from the young Portuguese attacker.But, likewise, Atletico Madrid have no intention of selling Felix. At least not for a sum less than 100,000,000 euros, which not many clubs can pay.##NAJAVA_MECA_6906266##As per reports from AS, a ‘solomonic’ solution has been found. Los Colchoneros agreed to let Felix go on loan – but only until the end of the season and without the option of purchasing the contract at the end. More precisely, there will be no buyout clause in the contract, but if that club wants to buy the Portuguese, the negotiations will have to start all over again.The only thing is that for now there is no club that explicitly showed their interest. Probably only now, after Atlético’s permission, will the bidding and proper speculation begin. If someone is willing to take on loan a player who will be on the team for only six months at all.🚨#Atletico will allow Joao Felix to leave on loan with obligation (per @MatteMoretto) in January however they demand a big obligation fee. It’s gonna be difficult for clubs like Arsenal due to the price but clubs including Arsenal and Man United have spoken to Mendes. #AFC #MUFC pic.twitter.com/NSGw41AOUV— Ibrαhim (@_Mo_Ibrahim) December 25, 2022 What will happen in the summer depends mostly on whether Diego Simeone will be the coach of Atletico next season as well. If the Argentine decides to stay at Wanda Metropolitano and if the club’s leaders have nothing against it, then there will be a greater chance that Felix will leave, because he and Cholo Simeone can no longer work together.
