Real Madrid is keeping an eye on Atletico Madrid star

The reigning European champions have made some extremely impressive acquisitions in the previous transfer window, and Real Madrid is still linked to numerous more players who are already on the list for next summer’s market.

Certain of these names are Jude Bellingham and Erling Haaland, who will be huge targets in the coming years, and there is a spike in rumours regarding the LaLiga champions being interested in some affairs across the town.

Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid’s cross-city rival, has a strong squad of players despite failing to win the past derby. Among these participants, the whites are keeping an eye on an intriguing star and would like to monitor his movements.

Real Madrid is contemplating pursuing an Atletico Madrid superstar in 2023

Real Madrid is mulling a move for Rojiblancos star Joao Felix in 2023, according to Spanish source Fichajes. This rumour follows reports that the Portuguese star has been searching for a new club after failing to secure consistent minutes under Diego Simeone.

Atletico Madrid paid roughly 128 million euros to buy Felix, and his performance for the club has been a significant understatement for the money invested on him. Because his contract does not expire until 2026, the club may not hesitate to let him go if a reasonable price is offered.

Real Madrid are trying to bolster their offensive force and plan for the club’s future after Karim Benzema’s retires, and Joao Felix is one of the names on the list to start the reinforcements and provide more squad depth up front.

This transfer speculation cannot be dismissed, and it may materialize and acquire weight in the coming months, given the former non-aggression pact between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid also ceased to exist lately, giving Real complete authority to recruit players from their rivals.

However, it remains to be seen how eager Atletico will be to sell their player to their cross-city rivals, and the pace with which the story spreads is dependent on Felix’s present club’s readiness to begin discussions.
