Joao Felix 'asks to leave' Atletico Madrid in January, Chelsea interested
Portuguese striker Joao Felix has asked to leave Atletico Madrid in January according to Marca - a pretty reliable Spanish outlet.
Chelsea have been named as one of the teams interested in signing the fleet-footed attacker in the winter market.
Felix is seeking to leave Madrid after seeing his playing time cut down under coach Diego Simeone this season. The 23-year-old has started just 5 of his 13 league appearance this season.
Still, Felix has returned 4 goals and 3 assists this season. He's already bagged a goal in one appearance at the World Cup so far.
Felix joined Atletico from Benfica in 2019 in a deal worth €127m. But we know Chelsea will not pay that much for him if they are to sign him.
