AC Milan star Olivier Giroud could play a huge role in determining where Atletico Madrid star Joao Felix plays his football for the next six months. The 22-year-old has been heavily linked with a loan move to the Premier League, with Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal all showing an interest.
Mild interest in Felix first emerged at the World Cup after he delivered a number of impressive performances for Portugal. Atletico CEO Gil Marin also made a huge transfer admission with the Portuguese star also making his own stance clear regarding a departure.
Marin said: "Joao Felix has top level but because of his relationship with Simeone and game time… we feel that makes sense to consider potential bids to sell him." Felix provided his own retort perhaps indirectly to this comments making his feelings clear on his national team preference.
