Neymar’s Transfer Decision Key to Joao Felix’s Potential Move to PSG

• Atlético Madrid forward João Félix is linked with a possible move to Paris Saint-Germain
• The Portuguese forward is in search of a new lease on life away from the Wanda Metropolitano
• Felix appears to be a favourite of incoming PSG coach, Luis Enrique

Atlético Madrid forward Joao Félix is in the rumour thread with a possible move to Paris Saint-Germain on the cards.

The striker has a contract with the Spanish team until 2027, although both parties appear to be looking favourably on a departure this summer.

There are not many offers that he can count on, although there is a possible interested party.

The Portugal international, who was on loan at Chelsea until the end of the 2022/23 season, appears to have caught the eye of French Champions PSG. But the transfer of the 23-year-old hinges hugely on the decision of a certain PSG forward.

According to reports from Spanish outlet Diario AS, Félix’s arrival is contingent on the resolution of Neymar’s future at the French club.

Should PSG fail to expedite the process and finalize Neymar’s situation within the next 10 days, Félix is moving to Plan B.

The former Benfica star reportedly has decided to talk to Atlético Madrid manager, Diego Simeone about a departure.

Neymar’s PSG future

While Neymar has his name around the transfer gossip recently, it seems unlikely that the 31-year-old will exit PSG this summer.

Diario AS also reports that the pending arrival of Luis Enrique, who coached him at FC Barcelona, will probably ensure the Brazilian remains at PSG.

Félix’s desire to leave Atlético Madrid stems from various factors. The 23-year-old might perceive a lack of opportunities to get his career back on track. Additionally, he may desire a new challenge.

Despite his initial promise and occasional moments of brilliance, Félix has struggled to consistently showcase his talent at the Spanish club, contributing to his decision to seek a fresh start elsewhere.

If soon-to-be PSG manager Enrique wants Félix, he still sees the potential the forward flashed at Benfica. Perhaps the Spanish tactician believes he can pull that out of him.

Felix provides hint on future

Sports Brief earlier reported Joao Felix had previously hinted he would love to make permanent his loan move to Chelsea.

Chelsea were linked with a second loan bid for Felix and Atletico were reportedly demanding €100 million to let him leave permanently.

New manager, Mauricio Pochettino has since quashed the talks of Felix extending his stay at the Premier League club.
