It's a shock. The ransom, which once reached £114 million, plunged to £12.7 million.

British media Sports Bible reported on the 3rd (Korean time) 'Atletico Madrid (Spain) is in negotiations for a sale due to an exceptional price just five years after bringing in João Felix for £114 million.'"

Felix, born in 1999, left Benfica (Portugal) and joined Atletico Madrid ahead of the 2019-2020 season. At the time, his transfer fee was 126 million euros (£114 million). But his life at Atletico Madrid was not happy. There were even rumors that Felix threw his training suit in anger over whether he would play in the game. Eventually, he moved to Chelsea (England) on loan through the winter transfer window in January 2023. Felix has scored four goals in 16 English Premier League (EPL) matches. The companion ended in six months. After Mauricio Pochettino took the helm of Chelsea, 'Sold No. 1'

Even after returning to Atletico Madrid, Felix did not get a seat. In the end, he transferred to FC Barcelona (Spain) on loan. He played 44 games for FC Barcelona, scoring 10 goals and 6 assists. He did not start in the second half of the season. The lease ended with regret.

Sportsbible said 'Felix arrived in Atletico Madrid with huge expectations. But he did not live up to expectations. Never settled into Atletico Madrid's life. He played on loan at Chelsea and FC Barcelona. He scored only 34 goals for Atletico Madrid. His future is uncertain.'

Citing a report by the Spanish media Sport, the media reportedly began discussing the potential movement of Felix by Benfica. Benfica offered a £12.7 million transfer fee. 'It will acquire 50% of the player's rights, which means Atletico Madrid will get half the profit if they sell him again'
