This January transfer market promises to be one of the best in recent years. Joao Felix's exit from Atletico Madrid is basically closed, who will soon be on his way to Chelsea in a multi-million pound deal.
In fact, the Portuguese man is already in London, ready to join the Blues, and they are a side who will pay his entire salary until the end of the season. And after the Madrid man leaves, Atletico are said to be going for none other than Memphis Depay.
Despite Marcus Thuram being spoken about recently as a cheap option. 'Carrusel Deportivo' have reported that Simeone's side want the Dutch forward.
They claim that the Atletico have asked Barcelona about him and their plan is to get him on a loan. Fabrizio Romano confirmed the news and said that negotiations are about to start. A meeting has already been organised for the Madrid's side first offer.
It is worth mentioning that it would be a win-win for both clubs. The Madrid side would have the Dutchman to replace Joao Felix, and Barcelona would be getting rid of a problem of money, as they needed to balance the books.
So far this season, Memphis, who has players Lewandowski and Ansu Fati ahead of him in the pecking order, has played four games (205 minutes in total), scoring one goal.
