Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United have all been set a new transfer price for Joao Felix by his parent club Atletico Madrid. It comes ahead of a potential exit for the Portuguese striker, with an offer for his services in the January window already rejected by the Spanish giants.
The 23-year-old looks set to leave the Rojiblancos after failing to hit the heights set by his huge transfer fee paid to sign him from Benfica. Such a move has come with plenty of talk from both himself and his manager Diego Simeone, with neither fitting to the current style as the club moves through transition.
"The way of playing with Portugal and then at the club is different," Felix told SportTV after a promising World Cup showing. "When the conditions are favourable, things go better."

Arsenal look set to pounce on a move with the side in need of reinforcements in the forward roles following a knee injury to Gabriel Jesus that is set to keep him sidelined for months. Similar can be said of Chelsea, who have struggled to find a consistent striker to call upon, while promising youngster Armando Broja will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury of his own.
However, it's Manchester United that have made the first move to replace Cristiano Ronaldo as the Mirror reports that they have had a first loan offer worth £3million plus his wages rejected. The report adds that a £9.5million loan fee and a commitment to buy at £70.5million are the current terms set by Atleti.
It remains to be seen whether any of those three sides will look to jump at that offer or whether negotiations are set to continue to get a deal over the line.
