Atlético and FC Barcelona condemned to understand each other in some way
colossal level of Antoine Griezmanncoupled with the disappointing performance of Joao Felix, can end up turning the tables on the Atletico Madrid. Because the French player, now yes, is establishing himself as the most decisive player of the mattress team. Y Simeone ask the club to find a solution.
The solution could have come this summer, when the Athletic turned down a multi-million dollar offer joao felix. Cerezo and Gil Marín are reluctant to let the Portuguese go. But the reality is that after four years under the orders of the Cholo Simeonehas not yet exploited the virtues that everyone says it has.
Simeone doesn’t trust Joao
The reasons, in this case, seem more of a clash of styles than of a football level. Because Joao Félix has shown at Atlético to have a quality above average. What doesn’t add up is what Simeone asks of the Portuguese. Whatever he does, if he’s a starter, they trade him in the 60th.
Joao Félix is corseted in the Atlético system. He needs freedom of movement in attack. A freedom that he is willing to give FC Barcelona. Laporta has had the Portuguese on his favorite list for a long time. Seeing Griezmann’s level, he could end up being the solution.
Joao Felix for Griezmann
Because Joao wants to leave Atlético de Madrid. He doesn’t want to continue wasting his career next to a coach who doesn’t believe in his characteristics. If the Portuguese player enters the operation, FC Barcelona will not have any problem forgetting those 40 million for Griezmann.
Moreover, Laporta could offer an amount of around 40-50 million + Griezmann in exchange for having the Portuguese player in his ranks. With Jorge Mendes involved, everything is possible and Xavi Hernández really likes Atlético’s Portuguese star.
