Joao Felix has been told that he is welcome to stay with Atletico Madrid by manager Diego Simeone. The Atleti boss rubbished rumours of a poor relationship between the pair despite Felix's agent holding talks with Premier League clubs over a possible transfer.
Reports over the last few weeks have claimed Atletico would be inclined to allow the striker to join a Premier League club on loan, with Manchester United and Chelsea joining the Gunners in the chase for him. Chelsea are said to also have held negotiations over a potential move for Felix with Todd Boehly thought to be prepared to act swiftly to conclude a deal for the Portugal international.
The 23-year-old has failed to live up to expectations since arriving at Atleti back in 2019 after completing a £110million move from Benfica. His World Cup performance showed that he still has the ability to perform at the highest level, but now Felix has a huge decision to make regarding the next step of his career.
