New 180º turn with Joao Félix: Simeone has already decided and only depends on Gil Marín

The Argentine coach has made an important decision with the Portuguese

With the signing of Julián Álvare za la vista, which could cost around €80 million, Atlético faces a significant financial dilemma. To meet this investment, the team needs to generate revenue through sales. In this context, the sale of Joao Félix has become a key piece in Atlético's economic strategy.

Simeone's decision about Joao Félix

Coach Diego Pablo Simeone has made a clear decision regarding Joao Félix : the Portuguese will not be part of his approach for next season. Despite the potential that Joao has shown, his style of play does not fit what Simeone is looking for for his team . This change in planning has led the club to consider the sale of Félix as a priority to free up space in the squad and adjust the budget.

Félix's departure is emerging as an essential solution for Atlético. The club is confident that his sale and that of Samu Omorodion can provide the necessary funds to secure Julián Álvarez and Javi Guerra. The need to settle accounts and finance new additions has put the sale of Joao Félix in the center of attention.

Interests and negotiations underway

Joao Félix has attracted the interest of several European clubs, with Benfica and Aston Villa among the main interested parties in his signing. Although Atlético initially set the price at 60 million euros, the figure could be adjusted to around 45 million euros more variables to facilitate the sale. This flexibility in price is key to completing the operation and obtaining the necessary funds.

Additionally, the market has shown that Joao is a valuable asset, which could accelerate negotiations. The possibility of receiving a solid offer adjusted to the new requested price is an opportunity that Atlético does not want to waste. This would allow the club not only to adjust its financial situation, but also to face the new challenges that arise in the coming season.

Gil Marín's role in the sale of Félix

Gil Marín, the CEO of Atlético de Madrid, plays a decisive role in the Joao Félix sale process. Marín must manage the negotiations and make the final decision on the transfer. His ability to negotiate and close deals will be essential to ensure the necessary income and meet the club's financial objectives.

The sale of Joao Félix would not only relieve Atlético's financial pressure, but would also open the door for new additions. Gil Marín's ability to handle this transaction will be crucial for the club's immediate future. If done effectively, it will allow Atlético to strengthen its squad and face the next season with greater guarantees.
