Atletico Madrid revealed their squad list for the match against Barcelona. Joao Felix, who missed the cup tie with Oviedo with a calf injury, is back.

World Cup winner De Paul is also in the squad. [Joao Felix](https://www.besoccer.com/player/f-sequeira-j-341347), who did not play against Oviedo in the Copa del Rey, is back again. The hosts are looking to have a great game and take the points from the contest.

The Portuguese forward aims to start against Barcelona, making it clear again that Simeone can use him despite his desire to leave.

The prospective deal ended with a reduction in the transfer of Griezmann to Atlético. The idea of all parties is to make clear their future as soon as possible, be it for one side or the other. But a good game against Barcelona can serve to revalue the numbers and encourage clubs in the Premier League to pull their hands out of their pockets. In the first 14 games of the season he had not managed to score, but in the last five, João has scored five goals. The Portuguese forward has not changed his intention and wants to leave the club in this winter transfer window, despite the fact that Simeone is doing his part to make him feel important. A good performance could even cause Atlético to consider João as a definite exit if they feel like he can still contribute and there are options to fight for titles in what remains of the season.

ATLETICO MADRID 0-1 BARCELONA: Joao Felix is evidently vying for a new challenge but he would also represent a substantial risk for Arsenal if they were to ...

Arsenal can certainly be that club but while the shoe may fit from the outset, there are specific logistics that suggest this could be an opportunity worth swerving. At the same time, there are also huge positives in Felix's clear desire to change clubs this winter. It is clear to see from the body language of Joao Felix that he is ready to embrace a new challenge after three-and-a-half rollercoaster seasons with Atletico Madrid. Arsenal cannot give him that at the moment. There is evidently undeniable frustration at the lack of quality service he receives while in the final third. The current reality in north London is that Mikel Arteta wants to sign some reinforcements that can help his side from the bench and in the event of injury.

Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo says it would be “normal” for reported Arsenal and Manchester United target Joao Felix to remain in Spain.

The Portugal international forward has struggled to produce his best across three-and-a-half years with the Rojiblancos, leading to reports that he is open to a new challenge in the winter transfer window. Arsenal and United are in the market for attacking reinforcements during the current window, as Mikel Arteta and Erik ten Hag seek to add greater depth to their respective squads.

Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has suggested attacker Joao Felix may snub the advances of Arsenal and Man Utd in order to stay where he is.

They could miss out on a Felix alternative to Chelsea, however. Chelsea, though, are exploring the possibility of a January deal. This decision would also leave Arsenal fuming, given how close they are to landing him. Erik ten Hag’s side are considering a bid for Felix if some of their other striker pursuits fail. This is down to a lack of game time and Simeone’s rather defensive style of play. They will then pay Atleti £70m to make the move permanent in the summer.

Man Utd and Arsenal are eyening striker reinforcements while Tottenham want a goalkeeper in the January transfer window.

Tottenham are targeting Brentford’s David Raya or Everton’s [Jordan Pickford](/topic/jordan-pickford) as a long-term replacement for Hugo Lloris, according to The Telegraph, while Aston Villa striker [Danny Ings](/topic/danny-ings) is wanted by Crystal Palace and Everton.
