João Félix

I think this is the first time they spend big, and its good imo.

Replacing 28 years old Greizmann with 19 years old Felix is not bad move.

And I think Felix salary is half what Greizmann is getting.

Atleti paid €70m last summer for Lemar

€120m? That's a lot of cash to spend on potential.

Mirror reporting that Felix waiting for city's response but most likely to Athletico

Joao Felix could have his summer switch to Atletico Madrid confirmed today - but only if Manchester City fail to deliver a last-minute bid.

Spanish daily AS claimed that the move could go through on Monday but Felix is still waiting to see if City step up their pursuit.

You can’t figure out why someone might like to play for Atletico Madrid? They’re a great club with a great manager, pay big wages, and you get to live in Madrid. What’s the problem?

To be honest if you actually look past the surface level theres a lot of red flags about going to Atletico.

First among them would be the number of attacking signings that have failed to adapt to Simeone and been shunted out the back door a year later. One of Benfica's ex board members actually said this in the press last week, theres been many big names going from Benfica to AM and most of them have failed.

Second would be the fact they're losing half their team this summer - Lucas, Juanfran, Godin, Felipe Luis, Rodri & Griezman is the vast majority of the players who start every game and they're all going.

And of the ones left, Saúl and Koke have both had rows with simeone about his tactical choices.

It's a big risk.

Some of our fans are starting to sound as entitled as the United fans we mocked for being arrogant knobs for years. There are plenty of very attractive clubs in world football. For many players, whether we like it or not, we're still not the be all and end all of football. If Felix goes to Atletico he's gone to a great club and it's hard to deny that

Their model is buy young and cheap and then sell for big profits, but there are few exceptions It seems.

I'm not seeing much antagonism in this thread, it sounds like you're trying to get on an unnecessary high horse.
Atletico is a good club, not one of the usual suspects. I think people are more surprised to see them splashing this much cash at one
