Ranking The Best Football Transfers In Europe During Summer 2019/20
6. Joao Felix - Atletico Madrid
Spending €113 million on any football player is always a big risk. Spending €113 million on a 19-year-old who has barely proven himself might be the biggest risk of them all. However, the talent that Joao Felix possesses makes Atletico Madrid's purchase look slightly less crazy than it seems on paper.
Think about it. Atletico Madrid have just lost Antoine Grizemann to Barcelona and that leaves a significant hole in their squad. They're still very much a force in La Liga and the Champions League, so they need someone who is going to help them compete.
If you're a bit of a Scrooge, then that sort of money could've been spent on a couple of really good players. Spending it all on one player is a huge gamble, but Felix really is quite a special talent
The Portuguese league isn't the greatest, but he was very consistent last season and that's really important to see in a young player. €113 million might be a gigantic risk, but if it works out then Atletico will have picked up a player with unfathomable potential.
