TOP STORY: Joao Felix set for PSG?

Paris Saint-Germain are keen to bring Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix, according to Relevo.

The Ligue 1 champions are likely to be in the market for attacking reinforcements this summer following the departure of Lionel Messi to Inter Miami CF and the continued links of Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid.

PSG are also looking at a new manager to take over for Christophe Galtier, who has been sacked by the club but remains under contract. Galtier is also at the centre of an investigation into racism allegations at his former club Nice, a prosecutor said Friday.

Former Barcelona and Spain coach Luis Enrique has been linked with taking over as manager at Parc des Princes.

As for Felix, the Portugal playmaker has struggled at Atleti since his €126 million move from Benfica in 2019, netting just 34 goals. Following a high-profile falling-out with manager Diego Simeone last season, it is reported that the LaLiga outfit are eager to offload Felix this summer.

Felix had disappointing loan stint at Chelsea in the second half of last season as he managed just four goals for the west London club.

Whilst the 23-year-old and Atleti are both keen to part ways, Los Colchoneros will o demand a hefty fee for the forward, who is under contract with the club until 2027. It has been reported that a loan move looks the most likely for Felix this summer, with most clubs in Europe reluctant to cough up a huge fee.
