Atlético chases a world record, rejected 130 million euros for Joao Felix
Atletico Madrid refused 130 million euros for Joao Felix, as much as he offered Manchester United. "Ac" writes that the coach of the "quilters" Diego Simeone wants to keep the biggest stars, including the 22-year-old attacker Felix, who was brought from Benfica in 2019 for 127 million euros.
Atletico have pointed out to United the Portuguese's exit clause, according to which he can only leave the club if someone pays 350 million euros.
If United activate the clause, it would be the biggest transfer in history. He holds the record Neymar who moved from Barcelona to PSG in 2017 for 222 million euros.
Spanish media claim that Felix is happy at Atlético and aware that now is his best time after the adjustment period.
Last season, he made 35 appearances for the Spanish club, scored 10 goals and recorded six assists.
