"Atletico" ready to pay a record sum for "Benfica" star.

Throughout the month of June, the quiet Madrid "Atletico" club will soon begin the team's renovation works. "Atletico" will undergo significant changes next season as at least five main players are leaving or planning for changes in the line-up. It is already known that Antoine Griezmann, Diego Godin, Lucas Hernandez, Filipe Luis, and Juanfran are leaving the team, and Rodri is also expected to join them. According to "Marca", "Atletico" is currently finalizing the decision on the replacement for A. Griezmann. It should be the 19-year-old talent from Lisbon's "Benfica", Joao Felix. "Atletico" understands the risk, but sees the Portuguese player as the best replacement for the Frenchman. A. Griezmann is leaving the club for 120 million euros, and the entire sum will be paid for J. Felix's contract. Almost all the top European clubs are interested in the promising Portuguese player, but only "Atletico" has decided to buy out his contract. J. Felix is also satisfied with this deal as "Atletico" has promised him a place in the starting lineup. If "Atletico" confirms this deal, J. Felix will become their most expensive purchase in history. So far, the most expensive was Thomas Lemar, costing 72 million euros. J. Felix only started playing regularly for the main "Benfica" team this season. His performance in the major football was very successful - the versatile attacker scored 20 goals and made 11 assists in 43 matches."
