As per ABC, Joao Felix is keen on continuing his adventure in the Premier League after his brief loan spell at Chelsea came to an end in June.
Now Manchester United, Newcastle United and Aston Villa are all rumoured to be keen on landing the Portugal international.
The same report claims that Los Rojiblancos have become disillusioned with their €127 million (R2.5 billion) signing from Benfica. While the LALIGA giants would like to recoup the millions they forked out for the 23-year-old, his recent form has seen his valuation in the market drop.
Diego Simeone is believed to have asked Felix to train with the academy, having already stripped the ex-Benfica man of the number seven.
It seems that the Argentine tactician would prefer a lasting exit for the Viseu native, but the Red Devils have only enquired about a possible loan. It is said the record English champions have made initial contacts with the Portuguese's representatives, but no formal bids have been made presented to the 11-time Spanish champions just yet.
