Atletico Madrid has laughed off Joao Felix’s attempt to terminate his contract and force a move away from the Spanish club this summer.

The Portugal youngster received a hostile reception at the Wanda Metropolitano in Atletico Madrid’s La Liga season-opener against Granada, where he was booed by the home fans.

According to Chelsea Chronicle, Felix now wants to terminate his contract with the Rojiblancos, weeks after returning to the La Liga club from his loan spell with Chelsea.

Atletico Madrid, however, has responded to the 23-year-old forward, claiming he will need to buy out his contract if he is desperate to leave the club this summer after describing his termination request as a joke.

Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid does not want Joao Felix to join Barcelona this summer as the club’s CEO, Miguel Angel Gil Marin will not allow the move to happen, which has caused tensions to rise, Football Espana reports.

Gil Marin's reasoning is that he does not want to strengthen a direct opponent, as Atletico Madrid will almost certainly compete with Barcelona for the La Liga crown this season.

Atletico Madrid supporters have turned against Felix after the Portuguese forward revealed a desire to join rivals Barcelona, resulting in his plaque outside the Wanda Metropolitano being vandalised.
