The summer transfer window is closed for the major leagues in Europe. However, with an eye on January, there’s plenty of gossip swirling about who’s moving where. Transfer Talk brings you all the latest buzz on rumours, comings, goings and, of course, done deals!
TOP STORY: Felix to Man Utd amid Atletico revamp?
Atletico Madrid want to transfer up to four players — including Joao Felix — during the winter transfer window, but will also aim to sign January replacements, according to Cadena SER.
The report states that Manchester United remain interested in Felix but will no longer offer the reported €125 millon proposal made this summer for the Portugal star’s transfer.
Felix, 22, is said to be at an impasse with Atleti manager Diego Simeone, who saw his side condemned to last place of their Champions League group following Wednesday’s 2-1 loss to FC Porto. The defeat to Felix’s former club ensured that Los Colchoneros will also miss out on the Europa League.
Along with Felix, Atleti president Enrique Cerezo wants to offload an additional big-wage star — either Thomas Lemar, Yannick Carrasco or Rodrigo de Paul.
Despite their unexpected European ouster, Simeone’s side are interested in shoring up the squad this winter with an additional defender, midfielder and a right winger — so long as they can free up funds from any of those aforementioned players.
