Atletico Madrid have reduced the asking price of Arsenal and Manchester United target Joao Felix.

But a condition of the deal is that the buying club covers his entire wage until the end of the season.

The two Premier League sides now stand better chances of sealing an amazing bargain transfer for Felix.

The Portuguese forward is certain to leave the Spanish side in January as the player’s relationship with manager Diego Simeone is at breaking point.

The Liga side also need to get the World Cup star off their payroll to stay within Financial Fair Play regulations.

Arsenal and Manchester United are especially interested in the forward, while Chelsea are also said to be monitoring the situation.

Arsenal are in search of an attacking player following a long-term injury to Gabriel Jesus, while Manchester United need to replace Cristiano Ronaldo.

Atletico were asking for as huge as the €126million (£108m) they paid Benfica for him in 2019.

And since neither club are likely to splash that much cash on a single player, it seems that the La Liga side have realised they must lower their expectation.

The Daily Record reports that Atletico will allow Felix to leave on loan for a fee of just £8 million as long as the buying club covers his entire wage til the end of the season.

The 23-year-old reportedly earns just under £250,000-a-week.

Manchester United midfielder, Casemiro, has explained why he won’t stay one more year at the club.

The 34-year-old is set to leave Old Trafford at the end of the current season.

The Brazilian, however, had been urged by the club’s fans to extend his contract by one more year due to his brilliant display for Michael Carrick’s side this term.

Speaking on the development, Casemiro told ESPN Brasil, “There is no chance [for me to stay one more year].

“It is leaving through the front door. It has been four wonderful years, and I am eternally grateful not only to the club but to the fans.

“I think it is over. The cycle has ended here. I am moving on to a new chapter in my career.”

Former Manchester United striker, Wayne Rooney, has said Arsenal will go on to win the Premier League title, after Manchester City dropped points against Everton.

City were held to a 3-3 draw at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Monday night.

The result means Pep Guardiola’s men are now five points behind Arsenal, but they have one game in hand.

Rooney believes the Gunners will beat West Ham this weekend and go on to be champions.

He said on BBC Sport: “No, I’m concerned for West Ham. I just think Arsenal are efficient and professional.

“I just think they will win every game. So obviously, with the result tonight, that means they will win the league.”

Chelsea legend, Petr Cech, has advised his old club on how to win the UEFA Champions League or the English Premier League.

Chelsea are already out of the Premier League title race this season, and they are at risk of missing out on UEFA Champions League qualification for next season because they are currently not in the ninth position on the Premier League table.

Speaking to The Athletic about Chelsea, Cech said that the Blues need to change their philosophy of signing only young players if they want to win the Premier League or Champions League.

According to the former goalkeeper, the Premier League west London club needs to add experienced players to mentor the young players in the squad.

“You have to look at what you want to achieve. You can have young, talented players, and you can win, but it’s very rare that you manage to do that,” he said.

“If you want to win every season and compete every season, that does not go together.

“You have to change your philosophy. Certain things don’t go together because, in order to win a Champions League or a Premier League… these are really tough competitions, and you have to be consistent.

“You need to have a strong core of the team. And then you can bring young, talented players who will grow faster and then will be held by the experienced players to help navigate them through difficult times when they come.”

Currently, Chelsea have just one player, Tosin Adarabioyo, who is over 28 this season, and the defender has not been playing regularly.
