Atlético Madrid to Sell João Félix Permanently

Atlético Madrid are preparing to sell João Félix permanently after multiple loan spells, including his latest stint at Barcelona. The Portuguese forward hasn’t been able to fully settle under Diego Simeone’s system.

Despite flashes of brilliance, Félix has struggled with consistency and tactical fit in Madrid. His time at Chelsea and Barcelona showed glimpses of his talent, but neither club has committed to a permanent deal—until now.

Atlético are seeking at least €40 million for the 24-year-old, who remains one of the most technically gifted players in Spain. Clubs from Serie A and the Premier League are monitoring the situation.

João Félix is reportedly open to a fresh start where he can be a central figure, rather than a rotating piece in someone else’s system. A move this summer seems inevitable.

Letting go of Félix marks a shift in Atlético’s strategy—prioritizing fit and attitude over flair and reputation.
