The teen sensation could potentially join Atletico Madrid in a club record deal to replace Antoine Griezmann.

If you could go 6-7 months backwards, not many would know who João Félix was, but now most of the elite clubs in Europe are behind his signature to acquire him.

With Griezmann announcing that his future lies away from atleti, the rojiblancos are firing all the cylinders to find a worthy replacement and Felix is one such player.

A player with bright future

Goals and Assists

Technical Creativity

He may or may not live up to the expectations.

If he performs in top level he could be dubbed the next Mbappe.

Clearly the back room staff of Atletico would have assessed the player.

With a very young age, Felix can surely become an iconic player for the rojiblancos along the lines of Fernando Torres or Sergio Aguero, who were around the similar age and potential when they debuted in the red and white. Only time can tell if Joao Felix will join the list of Torres and Aguero or fall in the list of Jackson Martinez and Luciano Vietto.
