Joao Felix made up his mind: his future is away from Metropolitano! After a year of denying all transfer rumours and rejecting a $100 million offer from Bayern Munich, Los Rojiblancos have finally seen the light. They went from “Joao is not going anywhere” to “we must find a solution to the complicated Joao Felix situation”.The Portuguese winger, everyone seems to think so, is wasted at Atletico. A player of flair, speed and creativity is being made to be just another cog in the rigid system devised by El Cholo. And that’s where the problem has started: the relationship between Joao Felix and the Argentinean tactician isn’t what it should be. The friction is notable between the former Benfica youngster and his manager, but also with a section of Atletico fans. ##NAJAVA_MECA_6843403##Felix’s agent Jorge Mendes is actively searching for a new club for his client – a club where the skilful Portuguese would be regarded as a first-team regular and the team’s focal point.Bayern have already recorded an interest in the 23-year-old. They offered Atletico $100 million, but the red and whites rejected the offer because they wouldn’t accept losing money on the player they have signed for around $130 million in 2019.The forward has scored a goal against Ghana in the World Cup and is looking keen to prove himself on the biggest stage.

According to Marca, Atletico have got a $60 million hole in their budget, a hole that has to be filled to keep the club afloat. Seeing that there aren’t likely players to leave and put some money in the club’s coffers, it looks like the sale of Felix will be used to balance the books – with January the more likely time for departure than the end of the season.The only question is: who will take the little Portuguese?
