Nuno Gomes: Joao Felix is worth what Atletico Madrid have paid for him LaLiga Pressure on teenage sensation to replace Griezmann

Diego Simeone is once again being given the tools to challenge Barcelona and Real Madrid in LaLiga Santander, and at 127.2 million euros Joao Felix is the most expensive of the club's signings, yet Nuno Gomes believes the teenager to be worth such a figure.

Having enjoyed a breakout season with Benfica in 2018/19, the second striker was linked with a whole host of elite teams across the continent, most notably Manchester City, before signing with Los Rojiblancos, who made him the fourth most expensive player in the world.

"Joao Felix is worth what Atletico Madrid have paid for him," Gomes intimated in an interview with Radio MARCA.
