When the media questioned him on his strong showing at the current world cup compared to his club form. following the match against Switzerland, he responded: “The way you play here and at the club are different; when the conditions are favourable, things go better. The preparation was the same as the other games. We saw what was best and worst and played because of that, not losing our identity. We played a great game, perhaps the best so far.

The Red Devils have recently moved on from Cristiano Ronaldo, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, who had a public falling out with the team’s owners and manager Erik ten Hag. To fill the gap left by Ronaldo, the club has begun searching for a new striker. Names such as Dutch player Cody Gakpo and Portuguese talent Felix have been thrown around regarding potential replacements. Now, Atletico has revealed the fee required to bring the latter to Old Trafford.

Atletico Madrid is reportedly ready to offload João Félix in the January transfer window and has reduced their asking price to ensure a sale transpires, according to Spanish newspaper AS. Three significant clubs, including Manchester United, are keen on signing the 23-year-old whose purchase from Benfica in 2019 cost Atletico €126million (£108m).

Atletico Madrid is reportedly ready to accept a lower fee for Joao Felix, having initially asked for much more. A sum of €100million (£ 86 million) is now the asking price, with potential bonuses and performance-related add-ons included. Manchester United was reportedly interested in the player during the summer, but the original fee was too high for them. If Felix goes on to reach his potential, then this price could be an absolute steal.
