All the latest transfer news linking Atletico Madrid striker Joao Felix with a move to the Premier League with the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester ...

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.

Arsenal have seen January transfer target Joao Felix opt for a switch to Chelsea, leaving Mikel Arteta on the search for alternative attacking ...

Reports have also suggested that the Gunners could turn to former Blue Eden Hazard, who is out of favour at [Real Madrid](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/real-madrid-cf). We need to go a step further, we need players that already know what winning feels like and are able to transmit that. The two London clubs, as well as [Manchester United](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/manchester-united-fc), are in need of attacking reinforcements and all had expressed an interest in acquiring Felix on loan for the remainder of the campaign. Arteta has cited the need to add players who have experience in winning silverware. Arteta accepts that he cannot rely solely on Nketiah though: "The problem is we have only one [striker]! I will try to do that and if we have any reinforcements, great."

Joao Felix is heading to Chelsea with Man United seemingly deciding not to make an approach for the Atletico Madrid forward.

United, meanwhile, are in a tense race for the top four and can't afford to give a player time to settle into a system and get back to his best. United need a striker to lead the line so it's also difficult to see where Felix, who would demand to start most matches, would immediately fit into the system Ten Hag is making. It may well be disappointing for supporters to see United lose out or not even try for more exciting names and instead target Wout Weghorst, but in each case they have made the right decision. But he isn't a reliable goal scorer with just 34 in 131 appearances in Madrid, just five this season, and it's hardly surprising given he too isn't a natural striker. But the Brazilian was signed and Liverpool swooped in to enhance their own arsenal in a £35million transfer. In the case of Felix, the Portuguese star is set to leave Atletico Madrid on loan as inconsistent performances have seen him fall out of favour with Diego Simeone.
