For weeks, and now for months, there has been talk of a bad relationship between Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone and the most expensive signing in the club’s history – Joao Felix (23). The Portuguese has not been in the foreground of the Argentine expert’s view of the time for a long time, he made it known to the people in the club and the public that he wants to go, and the current course of the Qatar World Cup only confirms that it would probably be the best solution for both sides.##NAJAVA_MECA_6874287##Madridian outlet Marca states that there is a serious difference in Felix’s approach to the game when he is in the jersey of the national team and when he is with Los Colchoneros. According to the Spanish newspaper, the young forward feels much more comfortable under Fernando Santos and this is reflected in his performance in Qatar. In the three matches in which he was in the World Cup lineup, he scored a goal and set up two. Since the beginning of the season in the red and white Atlético shirt, Felix scored three goals and set up three.The difference was easily noticed by the executive director of Madrid, Angel Gil Martin. His last statement says that the club seriously started thinking about talking to Felix…”Joao Felix is the biggest bet the club has made ahead of this season,” Gil’s son said and in a way indirectly confirmed that there was an offer for the Portuguese this summer. It was said and written that it were Bayern Munich, that it was a figure of 100,000,000 euros, but that after serious consideration, Atlético decided to say – NO.Ronaldo is replaceable: Ramos scores a het-trick in a 6-1 demolition of Switzerland”When it comes to Felix, I think he has the quality to play in the biggest clubs, but because of the relationship with the coach, the small playing time, his motivation… I think it would be reasonable to think about his future if there is any exit option. I would like him to stay, but obviously he has other plans”, added one of the most important people of Atletico.As a reminder, Atletico paid as much as 127,000,000 euros for Felix, while his value (according to Transfermakt) is currently only 50,000,000.João Félix vs Switzerland72 minutes2 assists31 passes84% pass accuracy2 key passes1 big chance created2/3 accurate long balls2/3 successful dribbles2 tackles1 interception4/5 duels wonPure talent. 🇵🇹 pic.twitter.com/3AD3gef3sl— Football Talent Scout – Jacek Kulig (@FTalentScout) December 6, 2022
