Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo says he is happy Joao Felix is at the club and is prepared to keep him for a number of seasons despite speculation linking him with an exit as Manchester United search for a striker.
The attacker had a tepid loan at Chelsea in the second half of last season, scoring four goals in 20 outings. He has now returned to his parent club but is being tipped to leave Atletico amid reports of a rift with manager Diego Simeone.
United are yet to sign a much-needed striker having had their pursuit of Harry Kane knocked back by Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy. Talks have been held with Rasmus Hojlund while Randal Kolo Muani remains an interest as Erik ten Hag hunts for an alternative.
