Benfica to make their first signing as Atlético Madrid accepts an opening proposal for a striker.

This summer, Atletico Madrid will have to contend with a number of problems. One of the most important ones involves a player whose future is now unknown and who is the club’s most costly signing ever. We are discussing Joao Félix.

The Portuguese player, who has a contract through 2029, has returned to the team as of July 1. But it appears that FC Barcelona, his former team, where he spent the previous season on loan, is unaware of this. They continue to offer information about him and his role in the Euro Cup as if he were still a Barça player, even though they have formally said goodbye to him.

Because of the board’s commitment, the Catalan team wants to hold onto him, which complicates the matter. However, Joao is unwilling to go back to Atlético as long as Simeone remains there. However, ‘O Menino’ must currently deal with the terms of his lengthy contract with the team.

For Atlético, who hopes to avoid a recurrence of the Barcelona loan scenario from the previous season, this presents a significant challenge.

Portugal might have the answer. João Félix wants to return to Benfica, the team that Atlético paid 127 million euros to. The daily Correio da Manhã reports that Benfica and Atletico de Madrid are negotiating for Benfica to purchase half of his pass.

For Atlético, the return of the “Menino” to Portugal would be a huge relief, as Barcelona is reluctant to make a long-term acquisition.

Benfica is prepared to proceed with purchasing the first half of the pass. Their financial support comes from the anticipated 50 million euro sale of António Silva, the central defender, to Newcastle.

The thrill of having João Félix return is nothing new. Benfica contemplated bringing him back from Atlético last summer, but he ultimately decided to move to Barcelona. Benfica could be the ideal place for him to resurrect his career because of the fans’ unwavering affection and support.

João Félix at Atletico Madrid earns 12 million euros a year before taxes. According to the publication, this is a far greater wage than what is usually seen on the Benfica club, therefore resolving this issue would require careful budgetary planning.
