Koke invites Joao Felix back to Atletico Madrid
But Koke is adamant that Felix's future at Atletico is up for grabs. Asked about the departures of Felix and Matheus Cunha, who joined Chelsea and Wolves on loan from Atletico in January, Koke told Mundo Deportivo:
“They are important players for us. They decided to leave. Felix went to Chelsea and Cunha went to Wolves. It's their decision and I fully respect it. I watch the performances of these two players in England."
"Felix is playing better at Chelsea, he's starting to find connections with new teammates. He still has a future at Atletico, of course he is fully capable of playing at Atletico next season. I also want to send my best wishes to Cunha.”
On March 7, Joao Felix admitted he was uncertain about his future at Chelsea in the context of head coach Graham Potter's own future being uncertain.
