Joao Felix

Joao Felix and Atletico Madrid are still hoping to part ways this summer, but the Spanish club are looking for a ridiculous fee to sell.

Arsenal are still in the market to sign a forward this summer, with some speculation surrounding Atletico Madrid’s Joao Felix.

After speculation about a potential move to Arsenal in recent days, Atletico Madrid’s Joao Felix has publicly stated he wants to join Barcelona.

Joao Felix didn’t help the optics of his hugely expensive loan to Chelsea on Thursday, getting sent off on his debut against Fulham.

Joao Felix is set to extend his contract with Atletico Madrid before joining Chelsea on loan with no option to buy, with Arsenal unwilling to match the asking price.

Chelsea have reached a verbal agreement to sign Joao Felix on loan for around £10m, without an option to buy the Atletico Madrid man.

Arsenal have further talks scheduled for a Joao Felix loan move, with Atletico Madrid rejecting an offer from Manchester United.

Arsenal have held further talks with Atletico Madrid to try and drive down the price of a loan fee for Joao Felix, according to a report.

Arsenal remain confident Mykhaylo Mudryk wants to join them and they’re also stepping up their pursuit of Joao Felix, according to reports.

Arsenal are trying to sign both Mykhaylo Mudryk and Joao Felix in the January transfer window, according to various sources.

Arsenal and Manchester United are leading the race to sign Joao Felix on loan, according to David Ornstein, but only if his price comes down.

Arsenal are one of the best-positioned teams to sign Joao Felix from Atletico Madrid, but right now it looks as though he may stay in Spain until the summer.

Arsenal are keen to sign both Mykhaylo Mudryk permanently and Joao Felix of Atletico Madrid on loan, according to David Ornstein.

After further talks with Jorge Mendes over Joao Felix, Arsenal are now fully focused on Mykhaylo Mudryk, according to reports.

Arsenal and Manchester United will hold fresh talks over the potential signing of Joao Felix this week, but Chelsea have also joined the race.

Joao Felix’s agent has spoken with Arsenal about a possible transfer, but there are other clubs in the race, Atletico Madrid want a huge fee and the player apparently wants to go to PSG.

A loan move for Joao Felix may not be quite as attractive as it first seems, with Atletico Madrid wanting a significant loan fee and a purchase option.

Insiders believe Joao Felix may be best suited to Arsenal, amid reports that the Gunners have taken the lead in the race for his signature.

Joao Felix’s rumoured transfer valuation has already dropped, though it may still be out of Arsenal’s reach in the January window.

Atletico Madrid have no intention to sell Joao Felix this summer, but his agent is pushing for a move, and Champions League qualification is pivotal.
