Benfica make bold €30M bid for Joao Felix
Benfica have taken a significant step to bring Joao Felix back to Portugal, offering Atletico Madrid €30 million for 50% of the forward’s rights. The young star, currently on loan at Barcelona, faces an uncertain future as his time at Camp Nou draws to a close.
Felix has expressed a desire to stay with Barcelona, but the club’s financial constraints cast doubt on a permanent move. Atletico Madrid, his parent club, also seems an unlikely destination for the Portuguese international, leaving Benfica as a potential haven.
According to Diario Sport, Benfica and Atletico Madrid are nearing an agreement, which has sent waves of excitement through the Portuguese club’s supporters. Felix, who rose to prominence at Benfica before his high-profile transfer to Atletico, could soon find himself donning the iconic red jersey once again.
While Felix’s current focus is on the Euro 2024, where he is preparing for a crucial quarter-final clash with Slovenia, the prospect of a return to his roots is looming large. The deal, however, will likely remain in limbo until the tournament concludes.
This move by Benfica showcases their ambition and desire to reclaim their former prodigy. Bringing Felix back would be a statement of intent, signaling their aim to strengthen the squad with top-tier talent.
Fans eagerly await further developments, hoping to see Felix reignite his career where it all began. His return could be the spark Benfica needs to make a significant impact in both domestic and European competitions.
