There are rumors suggesting that, forward for Atlético Madrid Joao Félix, may potentially move to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
Despite having a contract with Atlético Madrid until 2027, both parties seem open to the idea of a departure this summer.
While there aren’t many concrete offers on the table for Félix at the moment, there is a potential interested party, namely PSG.
The Portuguese international, who recently completed a loan spell at Chelsea, has reportedly attracted the attention of the French champions.
However, the success of Félix’s transfer to PSG heavily depends on the outcome of Neymar’s future at the club.
According to reports from Spanish outlet Diario AS, Félix’s potential move to PSG is contingent upon the resolution of Neymar’s situation within the next 10 days.
If PSG fails to finalize Neymar’s situation in time, Félix may consider an alternative plan. It is said that he has expressed his intention to discuss a potential departure with Atlético Madrid manager Diego Simeone.
Neymar’s PSG future
While Neymar has his name in the rumour recently, it seems unlikely the 31-year-old will exit this summer.
Diario AS also reports that the pending arrival of Luis Enrique, who coached him at FC Barcelona, Neymar will probably ensure the Brazilian remains at PSG.
Félix’s desire to leave Atlético Madrid stems from various factors.
The 23-year-old might perceive a lack of opportunities to get his career back on track. Additionally, he may desire a new challenge.
Despite his initial promise and occasional moments of brilliance, Félix has struggled to consistently showcase his talent at the Spanish club, contributing to his decision to seek a fresh start elsewhere.
If soon-to-be PSG manager Enrique wants Félix, he still sees the potential the forward flashed at Benfica. Perhaps the Spanish tactician believes he can pull that out of him.
Felix provides hints on future
Sports Brief earlier reported Joao Felix had previously hinted he would love to make permanent his loan move to Chelsea.
Chelsea were been linked with a second loan bid for Felix and Atletico were reportedly demanding €100 million to let him leave permanently.
New Manager Mauricio Pochettino has since quashed the talks of Felix extending his stay at the Premier League club.
