Diego Simeone insists he wants Joao Felix to stay at Atletico Madrid despite his reduced game time for the club.
The attacker has not started in La Liga since September’s 2-1 derby loss to Real Madrid, although has scored three goals in his last two league games as a substitute. His selection against Porto in the Champions League at the start of the month was the first time he was named in the line-up in 11 matches.
Numerous reports from Spain claim a rift has developed between Felix and Simeone over game time matters and that the attacker could push for an exit in January. As a result United have again been linked with the 23-year-old, who is set to represent Portugal at the World Cup.
