Manchester United have initiated contact with Atletico Madrid regarding the potential acquisition of Joao Felix. The Portuguese forward made a high-profile move to Atletico Madrid on July 3, 2019, signing a seven-year contract for a transfer fee of €126 million (£113 million). This transfer fee not only marked the fourth-highest amount ever paid in the history of football but also stood as the second-highest fee ever paid for a teenager, second only to Kylian Mbappe.
