A quartet of Premier League clubs are reportedly interested in signing Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix, with Manchester United said to be leading the way.
The LaLiga giants only signed the Portugal star from Benfica for more than €120m in 2019. However, the 22-year-old has not fully convinced in his first two campaigns with Atletico, despite scoring 19 goals and adding 10 assists.
A report from AS claims that the player’s representative has been ‘already studying various alternatives to try to convince Atletico to let Felix leave’.
The report adds that United have ‘already asked’ for Felix as they bid to beat Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle to the player’s signature.
It’s unclear at this stage whether the Red Devils have approached Felix’s camp and or Atletico. However, it would appear that there is concrete interest in the talented attacker.
Felix has made 11 appearances this season but has scored only once in that time.
The Portugal star missed Atletico’s midweek win over Porto that saw them book their place in the Champions League last 16. He is currently on the sidelines with a calf problem, with injuries also playing a part in his struggles in Madrid.
