Joao Felix has officially completed his move to Atletico Madrid from Benfica in what is a huge coup for Los Rojiblancos.
At just 19 years of age Felix had been one of the most coveted players in Europe, yet Atletico were able to fight off Manchester City to lure the Portuguese starlet to the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano, where he has signed a seven-year contract.
The second striker will be the face of Atletico's project as they move past the Antoine Griezmann era, while his 127.2 million euro price tag - which accounts for Felix's 120m euro release clause, six million euros paid as interest for paying in instalments, and 1.2m euros for Porto, where he first started out as a youth player - means that he not only becomes Los Rojiblancos' record signing but the fourth most expensive purchase of all time, only behind Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Philippe Coutinho.
Back on May 17, MARCA reported that Atletico had identified Felix as the player they wanted to build their new project around, and one and a half months later they have made his arrival a reality.
Finally, he choose my favourite club as his destination!

Rodrigo Hernandez is officially a Manchester City player after the Citizens paid his 70-million-euro release clause to sign him on a five-year contract.
The central midfielder leaves Atletico Madrid for the Premier League champions only a year after he returned to his boyhood club from Villarreal for 20 million euros, with a further five in add-ons.
Diego Simeone loses one of his key men in midfield to Pep Guardiola, who was key in Rodri's decision having convinced the Spain international with a proposal to make him the new Sergio Busquets of Manchester City.
Rodri becomes the second most expensive signing in the club's history, only surpassed by the 76 million euros paid for Kevin de Bruyne and beating the 67.8 million euros paid for Riyad Mahrez last summer and the 65 million euros spent on Aymeric Laporte in January 2018.

@SUPERNOVA-8 - I hope he has a speedy recovery, he's a great player. But the way Son went in from behind and aurier from the side didn't help when Andre Gomes at all when he fell - it was awful...

@Suleman____f Couldn't agree more with you. It's one of the bad sides of football and the worst thing that can ever happen to an athlete.
We all wish and pray for him and for a fast recovery.

Solskjaer eyes Tottenham Midfielder Eric Dier to replace Nemanja Matic? my opinion I think Eric Dier is not a suitable option for Man United as I do not believe he is fast enough on the ball. what is your thoughts on this guys?
@ianthebean-byrne Yeah I agree he has sort of declined since going through so many injuries. A few years ago, he used to play for the England National Team, but a better, younger Declan
has replaced him in the role of holding midfielder. -
