After the controversial statements by Joao Félix in which he assured that he wanted to sign for FC Barcelona, his departure has been complicated, but it is crucial for Atlético to be able to launch for a new star
With the goal, defense and midfield practically complete for next season, Simeone’s priority is to find a starting caliber nine. Even more considering that Morata could leave and that he Atletico Madrid it does not count with joao felixwho they have been looking for a destination since he returned from his loan at Chelsea.
Currently, his output is very stopped. And it is that the interest of the clubs decreased due to the statements of the Portuguese attacker in which he assured that his dream was to sign for FC Barcelona. But Atlético needs to sell Joao Félix to jump for a player who is chosen by the sports management to reinforce the lead.
The striker that Atlético wants with Joao Félix’s money
Although at first Atlético demanded 100 million euros to let Joao Félix goNow the financial claims of the club have dropped. And it is that they are aware that there are very few clubs interested in the Portuguese and that they will wait until the last days of the market to get it at a lower price.
However, and although they earn less from their sale, Atlético is determined to launch a transfer that could be around 100 million euros. We are talking about Gonçalo Ramos, a Benfica footballer who is only 22 years old and has already established himself as one of the great center forwards in the world.
Gonçalo Ramos, on Atlético’s radar
this past season Gonçalo Ramos has excelled at Benfica with 27 goals and 12 assists in 47 games. Very good numbers for a 22-year-old player who has slipped onto the radar of all the big clubs in Europe. However, the Lisbon club has tried to scare off all those interested by placing a starting price of 100 million euros.
Yeah Joao Félix does not leave Atlético de Madrid, his signing will be unaffordable for the rojiblanco team. But if he leaves and they also sell other players like Morata or Samuel Lino, his arrival in the team will be much closer to happening. Likewise, if his arrival becomes impossible this summer, the rojiblanco club knows that next summer Benfica has no other option but to negotiate, since the player will only have one year left on his contract.
