Atletico Madrid are surprised and angry at Joao Felix after the forward said he would "love to play for Barcelona" as he looks to force a move away from the club.


The Portugal international, 23, is back in preseason training with Atletico after spending the second half of last season away in an unsuccessful loan spell at Chelsea.

The forward's agent, Jorge Mendes, has a good relationship with Barca president Joan Laporta, and represents a number of the club's players, including Ansu Fati, Alejandro Balde and Lamine Yamal.

After an inconsistent three and a half seasons in Madrid, he joined Chelsea during this year's January transfer window, making 16 Premier League appearances and scoring four goals.
