BREAKING: Atletico’s Joao Felix transfer stance clear as Gabriel Jesus posts injury latest

Felix chance

Atletico Madrid’s CEO Gil Marin has admitted that the club will consider selling Joao Felix. He told TVE: “Joao Felix is the biggest bet the club has made this season. I think he has the highest level in the world but for reasons that are not worth entering now, the relationship between [Diego] Simeone and him is not good and his motivation is not the best.

“It is reasonable for him to think about leaving, but I would love for him to continue with us, even if this is not the player’s idea.”

Xhaka decision

Granit Xhaka is flying straight to Dubai to join Arsenal’s training camp after Switzerland crashed out of the World Cup on Tuesday.

Speaking to the Evening Standard, Xhaka said: “Of course, emotionally it is not easy. But this is part of our business, part of football. You have to recover well. The Premier League is waiting and, of course, I wanted to be here longer than this. But we lost the game today and I am happy to go back now with the team.

“I have something to achieve there, and I know the team is in Dubai at the moment doing the pre-season. I’m flying back to Dubai, going back to the team, and going back to the training and trying to forget the tournament now.”
