Arsenal wants to add Joao Felix to their squad in the next transfer window or at the end of this season, but he will not come cheap.
The attacker has fallen out with his manager at Atletico Madrid, and the Spanish side seems prepared to allow him to leave them.
Arsenal has lost Gabriel Jesus to a long-term injury which could force them to make January purchases.
However, they might need help to get the cash to purchase Felix, even though Atleti has now decided to cash in on him.
Sky Sports Dharmesh Sheth has now delivered an update on the situation of things and insisted he will be an expensive player to buy.
He tells Give Me Sport:
“I think he would be a great addition to any frontline. It’s just gone a little bit sour, if you listen to all the reports emanating out of Madrid, between himself and Diego Simeone.
“Atletico Madrid might be pushing the sale of Joao Felix, but it will be in Atletico’s interest to have as many clubs interested in Joao Felix as possible because, if they are going to sell, they will want to create a situation that would push his price up.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Felix has been a fantastic player in the last few seasons, and he certainly will make an impact on our team if we add him to the group.
However, an expensive purchase is better suited for the end of the season when we have a bigger budget.

Even with a sizable war chest at the gaffer disposal, a purchase would not be on in my opinion, he’s too similar to what we already have.
A loan with an option to buy is his best bet.
He is similar but can play across the front line. He’s a far better option than Mudryk. With him, we canjust get a Partey backup and then wait for Jesus to be fit again.
I think Atletico should accept a loan or a payment spread over a period of time. Senseless to spend the war chest on a single player
Think indeed he is a good player and I do agree with the post below
The problem is Athletic Madrid paid £113 mil a couple years ago for him and will want to recoup a significant amount of that for his service.
The manner in which we got Partey from Athletic Madrid won’t help either.
JF is worth no more than 55-60M in today’s market. In Atleti eyes, he’s surplus to requirements and considered “deadwood”. No reasonable offer will be refused.
Besides, we are bargaining from a position of strength: top of the league with an impressive core of young players. We are now a preferred destination for young superstars.
I would bet my bike on JF joining The Arsenal in January, not for peanuts but a reasonable fee.
How old is even Jao Felix? I haven’t Google him to know if he fits in into Arteta’s Arsenal youth project or not. But if he does fit in. Can he give Arsenal what they want in terms of regular goals scoring for the club at the top level of the game against big teams and tougher opposition ones in all competitions?
If he can and fits in into Arsenal’s youth project, I will say let Arsenal sign him this winter window to give them the regular goals scoring at the top level they want.
But if Arsenal are not sure Jao Felix will give them what they want, but still want to take a gamble to sign him him this winter to see if he’ll be scoring for them the regulate goals they want. Then,, they better not commit their money to sign him.
But instead, search out to find another top quality striker this winter. Who fits in into Artetal’s project and give them what they want. The Club could go ahead this winter to sign him and sign him to give us what we want

Think he’s about 23yrs old, he fits the gaffer style of play.
He is a good cool player, he reads the game and changes everything. Ambitious in scoring goals. He will coup well with the style let Edu led team work on that this January, we need to have a team when coach makes substitutes he brings in another quality
