Spanish Club Athletico Madrid is Set to offer FLOP player Joao Felix in Exchange of City Star boy

According to HITC Football, Atletico Madrid is “willing to provide” Joao Felix in exchange for Manchester City forward Julian Alvarez.

After returning from a stint at Barcelona, the former Chelsea loanee is not in Atletico’s plans, yet the Premier League winners might still be able to recruit the Portuguese international.

However, there are currently no indications that the Cityzens are eager to sign Felix, especially considering their continued desire to retain Alvarez.

HITC reports that despite Atletico’s interest in the Argentine attacker, Pep Guardiola’s team is convinced that he is not for sale.

Atletico Madrid is well aware of the 24-year-old’s discontent at the Etihad. The striker reportedly wants to play a bigger role in the team.

Despite having started 39 times in all competitions last season, Alvarez did not play in key crucial games, notably the final four Premier League games and the two legs of the Champions League quarterfinal against Real Madrid.

Atletico claims that Alvarez is eager to transfer to the Wanda Metropolitano. He knows that Atletico would be his only option if he wanted to play for a Spanish team, as neither Real Madrid nor Barcelona are reportedly in the running for his signing.

The city’s valuation of Alvarez is expected to cause lengthy and drawn-out negotiations. Atletico is rumored to be willing to pay only £70 million for Alvarez if Felix is not included in their offer, which is anticipated to be far less than what City is requesting.

Atletico may believe they can adhere to their valuation, given that Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Paris Saint-Germain are not expected to engage in a bidding war.
