From the brace against Getafe to the goal against Juventus today, with just a dry run with the Kitchee. But it doesn’t matter: Joao Felix he doesn’t think about his future at all and only looks at the present. The Portuguese born in ’99 is really impressing in this pre-season with Atlético Madrid, who own his contract and with whom he is tied by a contract until 2029. There were rumors of a desire on his part to return at all costs to Barcelona, where he was on loan last season, generating discontent among the fans colchoneros.
But the truth is there for all to see. With the first ball that passes to Joao Felix, on a brilliant pass from Correa, he unleashes a classy right-footed shot and paints the momentary 1-0. In the running for a transfer elsewhere, however with this attitude – writes the newspaper AS – could also stay in red and white. Because just like on the pitch, the 24-year-old is exemplary in the locker room and works hard.
Diego Simeone’s words resonate in the mindAtleti coach when just three days ago he reached out to the Portuguese: “He is in the squad on the same terms as his teammates and we will appreciate him for his work, his commitment, his performances and for everything he can give in the competition with his teammates. We think about the club and the team and this will be until the day he is here with us”.
