Arsenal could rival Aston Villa and Barcelona in the race for Joao Felix, but a move for the Portuguese forward could seem complicated.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Joao Felix is looking to leave Atletico Madrid before the end of July, and a host of clubs are showing interest. Arsenal are the latest to be linked with the 24-year-old attacker, with Aston Villa and even Barcelona in the mix.
Arsenal in Joao Felix chase?
Arsenal are considering reigniting their interest in Joao Felix, a player the club have previously pursued. There were considerable links to the 24-year-old attacker 18 months ago when he chose to join Chelsea on an expensive loan from Atletico Madrid.
Last season, he played for Barcelona on a dry loan, with the Blaugrana again paying a considerable loan fee to Atletico Madrid. He scored or assisted 16 times in all competitionsfor Barcelona, and the fact that the club has released him indicates they are either not interested in re-signing him or the costs are out of their reach.
Benfica were linked with Felix, as there are some grounds for the Portuguese star to make a dramatic return to his old side. The report also highlights how they have made a proposal worth €20 million for half the player’s rights to Atletico, which has made the Spanish giants think about the proposal.
However, the big stories are emerging from the Premier League, with Aston Villa keen on Felix. And now, Arsenal could reignite their interest in the 24-year-old attacker. From a sporting side, he will fit in well at the Emirates. However, the level of competition at the club is enormous, which may cast some significant doubts about whether Felix can find a regular spot in Mikel Arteta’s setup.
Felix’s Atletico Madrid future in jeopardy
There is no way back for Felix to reintegrate himself within the ranks of Atletico Madrid. The club are not considering the player to be a part of their setup next season and will actively look for suitors to get rid of him at all costs.
Felix still has a contract until 2029 with Atletico Madrid, which gives the club some power in negotiations while also allowing them room to send the player on another loan in the hope that he improves. However, his performances at Chelsea and Barcelona have reduced his valuation, which will prevent them from getting their desired value for the player.
