João Félix made the switch from Benfica to . two years ago for more than 120 million euros Atletico Madrid, with which he was instantly compared to the great of the earth. The Portuguese has not yet been able to fulfill that promise, although he expects to be able to compete with today’s top players.
Félix was the big man at Benfica and is still the most expensive player in club history. At Atlético it is all about trial and error. He is asked whether he can emulate Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé.
“I think so,” Félix tells TNT Sports. “I haven’t reached my highest level yet. I’ve had a lot of injuries in recent years. I haven’t had a full year without being injured. If I can do that, I think I can compete for that title.”
Playing together with Neymar also seems like something to Félix. “We can play well together, it’s always easy when you have good players against you. I would love to play with him one day, you never know.”
IN THE FIGHT! ???? João Félix spoke exclusively to our @tatimantovani about the goal of being among the best in the world together with Haaland and Mbappé. So, fan, do you think he gets there? #CasaDaChampions #HBOMax pic.twitter.com/vVmKusGOzK
