João félix

Atletico laughed off Man Utd's initial bid and have some lofty demands, but the Red Devils remain 'frontrunners' over Arsenal.

That’s why I don’t think Joao Felix is the right type of player for United right now. With players like Felix people will say how beautiful we look with the way we play, I don’t care about that. I don’t care if they perform well, I just want them to score goals. “He’s an excellent player and if he’s not happy at Atletico, the Premier League will welcome him with open arms. I’m quite surprised that things haven’t worked out with Diego Simeone at Atletico Madrid, but he’s a fantastic player,” Evra said. But the Spanish club laughed off the bid and instead want not just a £9.5m loan fee, but also a commitment to buy the forward for £70.5m at the end of the season.

Now, it feels like a nigh-on impossibility. I do not see them splashing £80m on Felix over the next six months. This is a club that’s currently up for sale.

“You don’t bring a player in just to make the fans happy or for commercial business. That’s why I don’t think Joao Felix is the right type of player for United right now. I don’t want to talk him up as a target for Manchester United because whenever we talk United targets they never end up signing.

Joao Felix is reportedly getting closer to joining Arsenal this month, with Manchester United apparently watching on in the background.

Let’s say that a loan deal for him will cost £16 million and a purchase option of somewhere between £70-80 million – I think that would represent good value in the long-run. And his record of 20 goals and 11 assists in 43 games for Benfica is evidence of what he is capable of. A £16 million loan fee does seem to be extortionate, but if the purchase option isn’t too steep, then it might be a decent deal in the end. He has struggled in the Spanish capital, with 34 goals and 18 assists in 130 games.

The Citizens have built a title-winning squad that can compete across all competitions with quality spread across it, with Jack Grealish and Riyad Mahrez's introduction from the bench and eventual match-winning link up against Chelsea in midweek proving that. It comes as the Gunners step up interest in the Portugal international to strengthen their ranks before the window closes.

After Gabriel Jesus’ injury, everyone expected the Gunners to find a direct striking replacement.

One option being considered is presenting a loan offer in January with an obligation to make the move permanent. The problem for the Villains, though, is that at the moment, their team and Birmingham as a city aren't overly attractive to Felix. Initial conversations have focused on a €21million (£18.5million) package for the remainder of this season, with a €15million (£13.2million) loan fee going to Atletico, and the rest covering the player’s wages. The two London clubs are thought to be open to negotiating a loan deal worth around half of the current asking price from Atletico and the player. Simeone stated that if Felix brought his Portugal form back to Madrid, he would be a crucial part of the team. The current Premier League leaders see a deal for Felix as similar to the initial loan that brought Martin Odegaard from Real Madrid to the Emirates Stadium - with the north Londoners providing an opportunity for the player to reignite their career and potential to earn a permanent move in the summer.

World Cup winner De Paul is also in the squad. [Joao Felix](https://www.besoccer.com/player/f-sequeira-j-341347), who did not play against Oviedo in the Copa del Rey, is back again. The hosts are looking to have a great game and take the points from the contest.

The Portuguese forward aims to start against Barcelona, making it clear again that Simeone can use him despite his desire to leave.

The prospective deal ended with a reduction in the transfer of Griezmann to Atlético. The idea of all parties is to make clear their future as soon as possible, be it for one side or the other. But a good game against Barcelona can serve to revalue the numbers and encourage clubs in the Premier League to pull their hands out of their pockets. In the first 14 games of the season he had not managed to score, but in the last five, João has scored five goals. The Portuguese forward has not changed his intention and wants to leave the club in this winter transfer window, despite the fact that Simeone is doing his part to make him feel important. A good performance could even cause Atlético to consider João as a definite exit if they feel like he can still contribute and there are options to fight for titles in what remains of the season.

Arsenal can certainly be that club but while the shoe may fit from the outset, there are specific logistics that suggest this could be an opportunity worth swerving. At the same time, there are also huge positives in Felix's clear desire to change clubs this winter. It is clear to see from the body language of Joao Felix that he is ready to embrace a new challenge after three-and-a-half rollercoaster seasons with Atletico Madrid. Arsenal cannot give him that at the moment. There is evidently undeniable frustration at the lack of quality service he receives while in the final third.
