Luis Enrique wants Joao Felix at Paris Saint-Germain

Luis Enrique wants Joao Felix at Paris Saint-Germain

Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix is the latest high-profile name linked with a summer move to Paris Saint-Germain.

According to Relevo, soon-to-be PSG manager Luis Enrique has asked the club to lure the Portuguese forward to Parc des Princes this summer.

Felix spent the second half of last season on loan at Chelsea after falling out of favour at the Civitas Metropolitano following a rift with manager Diego Simeone.

The 23-year-old caught the eye with his flair and impressive dribbling skills but managed just four goals in 16 Premier League appearances during his short stint at Stamford Bridge.

However, new Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly against the idea of signing Felix on a permanent deal despite the impending departure of academy graduate Mason Mount. 

PSG could move for Felix this summer, with Enrique keen to work with the mesmerising forward.

The player also wants a club that can offer Champions League football, so the prospect of a deal looks like one waiting to happen.

Felix signed a new deal with Atletico keeping him with the Spanish giants until 2027 before completing his loan move to Chelsea during the winter market.

It is understood that Felix will not be welcomed back into the fold at Atletico, with the club keen to permanently offload their record signing to the highest bidder.

His new deal gives Atletico leverage over his long-term future amid reports suggesting the Colchoneros will demand at least €100 million for the Portugal international.

They want to try and recoup some of the outrageous €127m they paid to Benfica when he switched Portugal for Spain in 2019.

PSG are also keeping an eye on other high-value targets, including Napoli striker Victor Osimhen and Manchester City forward Bernardo Silva, as they look to reshape their squad this summer.

Prince of the Parc Kylian Mbappe could depart this summer after refusing to extend his deal at the French capital and is a mega target for free-spending Real Madrid.
