Joao Felix desperate for January transfer after being 'bullied' by Diego Simeone

Atletico Madrid star Joao Felix has been linked with a January exit amid reports of issues in his relationship with manager Diego Simeone.

The Portuguese international became the Spanish club's record signing when he joined from Benfica in a deal worth £113m back in 2019. Manchester United are among the clubs to have been linked with a move for the forward, who turns 23 in November, but Atleti ruled out a move over the summer.

Now, though, there have been suggestions the situation may have changed. Felix was left on the bench for Atleti's midweek Champions League game against Club Brugge, and reports in Portugal point to allegations of bullying against Simeone which could pave the way for a January move.
