Joao Felix reportedly has his sights set on joining Paris Saint-Germain with the former Chelsea loanee having been ᵴtriƥped of his No 7 shirt at Atletico Madrid.
Felix spent the second half of last season at Stamford Bridge, scoring four goals in 16 appearances but failing to help improve the club’s results.
There was an expectation that he would join the Blues on a permanent basis but new manager Mauricio Pochettino made the call to send him back to Atletico and focus on other targets.
And it does not appear that the Spanish club are counting on him for the new campaign after they revealed their latest squad numbers.
Felix has worn the No 7 shirt since his £113m move from Benfica back in 2019.

Felix’s No 7 shirt has been given to Antoine Griezmann for the upcoming campaign
However, the number has now been given to Antoine Griezmann, who previously wore it during his first spell at the club.
Relevo claim that Felix and Atletico manager Diego Simeone do not want to work together again.
And AS report that the project at PSG is the one that appeals most to the Portuguese.

The 23-year-old’s current contract expires in 2027 and Atletico are looking for a fee in the region of £85m for their club record transfer.
At this time there is no sign that a club will be willing to to go that high and Los Rojiblancos will keep hold of him if they do not receive an acceptable offer.
