Joao Felix future is still open - Simeone
The Portuguese star is close to the exit doors of the club.
coach Diego Simeone has claimed that anything could happen to
Joao Felixin the future, but stressed that the Portuguese star deserves to be in his starting line-up.
There are many rumors about the 22-year-old star leaving Atletico, and reports suggest that teams are looking to sign him in January. He joined Atletico for 125 million euros from
Benfica, the most expensive purchase in the history of the club. He scored 9 goals in the first season and 10 goals in the second season, but this season he has recorded only 1 goal and 2 assists. Simeone now claims that the future of the Portuguese star at the club is uncertain.
He said:
"I always understand everything, I am open to everything, and the most important thing is always the team, where Joao is an important figure.
"He has to repeat performances like the one he had the other day at the Bernabeu. He showed all the talent he has, and I hope he would repeat it more times because he is the footballer we need."
The Argentine manager added:
"He is a very good footballer, the same thing happens with Portugal where many times he does not start, but he does finish the games.
"With all the players, I look to improve them by thinking about what the team needs. I understand that the best way to grow is by working. Joao has conditions that just by seeing him, you realise he is a great player."
