Newcastle United have been linked with a move for the Portuguese forward Joao Felix, who spent the last half of last season on loan at Chelsea. Atletico Madrid are understood to be looking to move the forward on this summer after the new Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino opted against making Felix a permanent member of his Blues side, meaning Felix has now returned to his parent club.
But Atletico manager Diego Simeone has been clear about the forward’s future in recent weeks.
“Joao is an Atletico Madrid player who, if he does not have a place at Chelsea, as Pochettino apparently said, he will have to come to Atletico de Madrid, he will have to work with us again, and obviously we will be willing to give him the best for that he can improve in what we believe is important.” Simeone said in an interview with El Partidazo De COPE.
