Diego Simeone has ruled on the future of Joao Félix at Atlético de Madrid.
The striker has been linked with a departure from Spain for several months, due to his strained relationship with Simeone and Atlético’s style of play. Felix is a skilled, creative and technical player who is versatile enough to be deployed in many attacking positions.
The club’s chief executive confirmed that the board would consider offers for Felix, with the star open to leaving as soon as January.
Since then, he has been linked with the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and even Aston Villa, but nothing has yet materialized ahead of the transfer window opening.

Félix lifted the League with Atlético in 2021 and was named the team’s Player of the Year after his successful campaign. However, this season has been mediocre for Simeone’s team, since it is already out of all European competitions.
The coach addressed the situation of his striker, and insisted that “nobody is untouchable”.
