Felix is having a hard time at Atletico Madrid, I don't know if the coach and the player are having issues because I don't see that connections between the coach and the player for him to start and he's not happy. Ever since he got back from the EPL on loan to Chelsea, he hasn't been the same player he was when he left on loan.
Now he wants the club to terminate his contract and the club don't want that but they increased his market prize to £80m, to me I feel he's not up to that amount and even if that amount is divided is a No to me, maybe he should be around £30-40m.
Is he up to that amount, £80m?
Many reports said that Diego Simeone did not like the player, Felix statement that he wanted to cross to Barcelona added to the heat of the situation. The price set by the ATM for the player is the reason for the complexity of the Portuguese striker's move. On the other hand, this is very reasonable, because Felix was bought at a high price from Benfica in 2019.
If you look at the price on Transfermarkt and compare it with its current performance on the field, it's too expensive. Agree with you 40 Million Euros is perfect for Felix now.
The transfer news of Joao Felix is definitely getting heated up. There are a lot of talking going around about him going to Barcelona. I don’t know if that is actually going to happen. After all the situation of Barcelona is not good at all financially. But at the same time, a lot of people are also talking about they are going to terminate the contract with Felix. So as a free agent, for Barcelona, it is not going to be a problem to get him. But I don’t think Atletico Madrid is actually done. They are not going to terminate the contract. They are most probably going to sell him. I actually do not think that Barcelona can actually spend €40 million right now.
