I don't think Joa Felix is a great footballer, but it's not easy to adapt to Diego Simeone's game plan. For an offensive footballer, working with Diego Simeone must be a nightmare.

In fact, Joa Felix had the chance to get away from Diego Simeone by playing for Chelsea in the second half of last season, but he didn't perform impressively at Chelsea and returned to Atletico Madrid. If he had done a bit better in the Premier League, I think he would have been a bit more likely to move to another team this season.
You think the Jao Felix isn’t special and Atletico coughed out over 100 millions for him. I don’t think so, rather what I think is a player in a club that doesn’t suit his style of play. Coming to Chelsea he actually was there bright stars of that woeful season and because none of the Chelsea players actually impressed or played well, even the golden ball winner Enzo. The major reason why Chelsea and other European clubs are yet to come in for Joao Felix is because of his transfer fee. Atletico valued him above 80m and playing at his position of an SS or a the main striker other clubs will want to have a strong striker who is very good in the air and he doesn’t thick that box. Aside that he is a fantastic player.
