Portugal striker Joao Felix still has a future in Diego Simeone’s side after appearing in the squad for the first La Liga football game of the season away to Villarreal.
Atletico Madrid will travel to Villarreal for the first La Liga game of the 2024-25 season. Of the 24 names announced, Felix is listed as a forward, along with new signing Julian Alvarez UFABET
Felix initially appeared to have no future at Atletico Madrid this season and was out of favour. With Chelsea planning to make a move to unlock the possibility of Conor Gallagher signing for Simeone’s side. But there has been no progress on that front.
Until the announcement of Simeone’s squad, it was decided to name Joao Felix, who switched to number 21 for the 2024-25 season. For the first game of the season at home to Villarreal.
Meanwhile, Argentine striker Alvarez, who moved from Manchester City for a huge fee of 95 million euros. is also named in the squad and ready to make his debut. But he is more likely to be a substitute than a starter.
Simeone has admitted he is open to working with Felix this season if a move this summer does not materialise. Which is increasingly likely to happen.
