All the latest news linking Atletico Madrid star Joao Felix with a possible move to Arsenal with Portugal's World Cup exit likely to speed up transfer ...

One option being considered is presenting a loan offer in January with an obligation to make the move permanent. Initial conversations have focused on a €21million (£18.5million) package for the remainder of this season, with a €15million (£13.2million) loan fee going to Atletico, and the rest covering the player’s wages. The two London clubs are thought to be open to negotiating a loan deal worth around half of the current asking price from Atletico and the player. Simeone stated that if Felix brought his Portugal form back to Madrid, he would be a crucial part of the team. According to The current Premier League leaders see a deal for Felix as similar to the initial loan that brought Martin Odegaard from Real Madrid to the Emirates Stadium - with the north Londoners providing an opportunity for the player to reignite their career and potential to earn a permanent move in the summer. Arsenal have a 'secret agent' they can rely on to help persuade Joao Felix to sign for the Gunners in January. Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone has shed more light on the future of Joao Felix at the club amid links with an exit in the January transfer window. [Ben Jacobs](https://twitter.com/JacobsBen), the north London side are looking to add a buy option within a loan deal. United's offer is a straight loan without an obligation or option to buy and also falls short of the total €21million (£18.5million) package. Chelsea have reportedly opened talks for the Borussia Monchengladbach striker over a possible January deal but have the option to wait until the summer upon the expiry of his contract. [Manchester Evening News](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/wout-weghorst-man-united-transfer-25926996), Manchester United are interested in veteran centre-forward Wout Weghorst and Erik ten Hag's side are confident of completing a loan move for the Dutch international.

João Félix's relationship with Atlético Madrid manager Diego Simeone has broken down and the Portuguese could leave in January.

Félix’s ups and downs have left Simeone unconvinced, with the Argentinian coach looking for Antoine Griezmann-like performances from all his top players; their work-rate needs to match their talent. Despite PSG football advisor Luis Campos’ admiration for his compatriot, Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappé are the current front three and are nailed-on starters. A few days ago, CEO Miguel Ángel Gil Marín confirmed an open secret; there has been a breakdown in the relationship between the Argentinian boss and the Portuguese star and that only one of the two is likely to stay at the club come January. Jorge Mendes, Félix’s agent, has been working on his client’s future for the last few weeks and, according to sources close to him, is expected to notify Atlético of bids of around €100 million for the Portuguese playmaker. The World Cup has enhanced Félix’s reputation once again; he started the tournament as a substitute but ended it as a starter for Portugal, although his impressive performances didn’t lead to him getting on the scoresheet. Los Rojiblancos spent €127 million to acquire Félix’s services from Benfica, €57 million more than the €70 million they paid Monaco for Thomas Lemar in 2018.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has confirmed that he wants to add a striker to his squad in the upcoming January transfer window.

The most prolific campaign of his career to date came during his final season at Benfica, where he notched 20 goals and registered 11 assists in 43 appearances. United, if they are to start adding more goals to their overall game, need to recruit a striker with a good pedigree and history of playing as a No.9 throughout his career. He is being heavily linked with a move to United, such is the uncertainty surrounding his future in the Spanish capital. Like Gakpo, he has played as a natural striker in flashes, but it is not his specialist area. His record in front of goal, however, might not to be too great a surprise to himself and those of an Atletico persuasion. Though he has impressed under [Ten Hag](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/erik-ten-hag) this term, his fitness issues have restricted him to just seven appearances in all competitions.
