Manchester United transfer target set to leave club in January transfer window

Manchester United transfer target Joao Felix wants to leave Atletico Madrid in the January transfer window.

Felix has had a challenging start to the season for Atletico Madrid and is still without a league goal. Felix didn’t even make it onto the field in the Champions League throughout the week, and he is probably getting more and more furious at the club.

A report from A Bola (via Sport Witness) now claims that the Portuguese attacker wants to leave Atletico in January, with Manchester United showing an interest in the 22-year-old

Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract expires at the end of the current campaign, hence Felix might be considered a long-term replacement.

There is no denying Felix’s talent, despite his bad period, and a new beginning at a different club might be just what he needs to reignite his career.

The report added that Manchester United attempted to sign Felix in the summer transfer window, and with the news that he’s actively searching for a route out of the club, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see them make a move for him in the upcoming transfer window.
