Arsenal enter battle with Benfica for Atletico's Joao Felix
Atletico do not count on Joao Felix and want to sell him to the highest bidder. Although Joao Felix's wish is to stay at Barca, the Madrid-based club is clear that there will be no more loan deals for the Portuguese, who they want to transfer at any cost. Benfica had shown interest in his return, but now he has a tough competitor. Arsenal have also asked for him.

What will happen to Joao Felix this summer? That is the question on everyone's lips at Atletico Madrid. Although he is still listed as a Barca player on the Barca website, 'Sport' suggests that his destination is most likely to be far from the Camp Nou.
The Catalan club would have to unblock his financial situation to keep the Portuguese, something that, in the words of the above-mentioned newspaper, seems "unlikely".The 'Colchonero' player has not been short of suitors.
According to 'Relevo' journalist Mateo Moretto, Arsenal have now added their interest to that of Benfica, who want him back. The Gunners, through Joao Felix's agent, Jorge Mendes, are making moves to find out about his situation.
Arsenal have not had any talks with Atletico for the moment. Their interest has not gone beyond a mere sounding out to the striker's representative, who still does not know what will become of him in the 2024-25 season.
According to 'Record', Benfica have asked Joao Felix for time to be able to raise the 30 million that Atletico are asking for 50% of his rights. Meanwhile, Arsenal have considerably more economic capacity to satisfy the Madrid club's wishes, so the Metropolitano club are rubbing their hands together, although they know that the summer is a long one and the soap opera could drag on for a long time.
