Joao Felix has demanded an exit from Atletico Madrid this January – opening a move to Manchester United and free agent Cristiano Ronaldo to potentially replace him.
Felix, 23, has started just five of Atleti’s 14 La Liga matches this campaign and has fallen out of favour entirely despite finding the net four times in his limited game-time. United have already been linked with a move for the former Benfica ace.
His Portugal international teammate Ronaldo ended his relationship with United by mutual consent this week, following his bombshell interview with Piers Morgan. He is now on the lookout for a new club, and Atleti may suddenly find themselves a major contender for his signature.
