Arsenal have emerged as the favourite to land a move for $295,000 per week Atletico Madrid striker
Joao Felix is planning to move on from Atletico Madrid since his connection with the club isn’t in his best interests in any way.
The Portuguese player is anticipated to go on to another team following the World Cup, when he had the chance to showcase his abilities.
Arsenal appears to be the team pushing for a transfer right now since they don’t want to lose Gabriel Jesus, who is currently facing a lengthy absence.
Joao Felix signed a long-term contract and paid a club record £113 million to join Atletico Madrid in 2019.
He has only played for the Spanish club for three and a half years, and when the January transfer market opens, he plans to move on.
Due to their relationship with Unai Emery, who is represented by the same agent, Aston Villa was another unexpected option for the Portuguese.
Arsenal is reportedly winning the chase to sign Joao Felix as of today’s headlines, despite reports from Mirror Football to the contrary.
What Was Said Is As Follows:
Joao Felix is reportedly not interested in playing for Aston Villa, so Arsenal seem to be in the lead.
The Gunners will compete against teams who have registered their interests, including Chelsea, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, and others.
Due to Gabriel Jesus’ World Cup injury, Arsenal will be without him. Joao Felix would be a nice addition for them.
Even once Jesus returns, Mikel Arteta may use both players at once, making the front line extremely dangerous as they pursue the Premier League championship this year.
Given that the January window won’t open for business for another few weeks, Joao Felix has not yet made any decisions either.
