And Atleti are reportedly willing to offer Felix as part of the deal.

Outlet TDF claim the LaLiga side's director of football Andrea Berta has proposed the move.

Felix, 24, was signed by Atletico Madrid for £96million from Benfica five years ago.

The versatile Portuguese attacker initially played a huge role at the club but then fell out with manager Diego Simeone.

Felix has since been loaned to Chelsea in 2023 and spent this season with Barcelona.
