“Marca”: Atlético rejected 100 million from FC Bayern for João Felix

Transfer according to “Sky” not an issue

Last summer, FC Bayern invested 137.5 million euros in well-known newcomers such as Matthijs de Ligt (23), Sadio Mané (30), Mathys Tel (17) and Ryan Gravenberch (20), thereby setting an exclamation mark on the transfer market. As if from a spectacular Marca report shows, the German record champions could have almost doubled their expenses. According to the Spanish newspaper, Munich made an offer of 100 million euros for Atlético Madrid’s João Félix – unsuccessfully.

According to reports, the “Colchoneros” have rejected that top offer. The concrete advance in the personnel João Félix came after the sale of center forward Robert Lewandowski to FC Barcelona for 45 million euros, it is said. According to the TV broadcaster sky Those responsible at FC Bayern have dealt with the attacker, but more in the event that a commitment from Liverpool’s Mané would not have been feasible. João Félix will not be an issue on Säbener Straße in the future either.

“Marca” claims to have learned that advisor Jorge Mendes went to Atlético’s office with Bayern’s offer in his luggage, but was rebuffed. Quite a few at the Spanish club were of the opinion that the allegedly offered 100 million euros should not have been rejected. In the hope of a great season, the Spanish top club did not want to do without the services of 22-year-old João Félix.

João Félix unhappy at Atlético Madrid: interest from Manchester United

The Portuguese switched from Benfica to Madrid in 2019 for €127.2 million, but is at a dead end in his young career at Atlético. In the current season, the two-footed pro has only played 613 minutes in 14 games – in which João Félix has had three assists. His contract ends in June 2026, the relationship with coach Diego Simeone is considered burdened, the player is dissatisfied and willing to change. He is now well away from the highest market value of his career – 100 million in September 2019: he is currently valued at 70 million euros

The fact that the Bavarians, who traditionally do not do crazy things financially, for the first time in their history paid a three-digit million sum for João Félix can at least be questioned. Sports director Hasan Salihamidzic recently explained via “Bild” that he did not want to make any personnel improvements in the coming winter: “We have done a lot this summer of transfers. I think we’re very well prepared for the season.” Attacking player João Félix, who has scored 29 goals and 18 assists in 125 Atlético games, is said to be very popular at Manchester United.
