The Premier League trio of Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea have been in talks with La Liga side Atlético Madrid about a possible loan of Portuguese international Joao Félix, according to a 90min report.
Joao Félix has been linked with a move away from Atlético Madrid in the January transfer window with the Spanish club’s chief executive Miguel Ángel Gil Marín admitting the Portuguese international could leave the club.
One of the reasons why Atlético de Madrid CEO Miguel Ángel Gil Marín suggested that they could part ways with Joao Félix was the relationship between the player and the club’s manager, Diego Simeone.
The 23-year-old has featured in 18 matches in all competitions for Atlético Madrid so far in the 22/23 season. But he’s only started half of those games, and the rest are bench appearances.
