Joao Felix is one of the brightest stars in this Portuguese golden generation. He has played more than 150 times for both his club and country, being only 23 years old. On July 2019, he secured a record-breaking $120 million move from Benfica to Atletico Madrid.
Despite possessing talent in abundance, the Portuguese’s move hasn’t gone the way he or the club has hoped for. The Atletico manager Diego Simeone and Portuguese national team coach Fernando Santos have a lot in common. They both are pragmatic and defensive-minded in setting their teams up, and often don’t get the best out of their technically sound players.
Although Felix has a contract till 2026 with the Spanish club, there is a big chance of his departure this January or the following summer. Arsenal and his teammate Cristiano Ronaldo’s former team Manchester United have shown a keen interest in him following the unavailability of their forwards.
What is Joao Felix’s Net Worth?
Joao Felix was a 20-year-old flashy wing-forward when he left Benfica. He hasn’t scored many goals for his club and has also been inconsistent for the Portuguese national team. His patchy form has seen his net worth go down significantly. He is valued at $25 million in today’s market, with a much higher selling price, mostly due to his young age.
In 2019, Felix had an estimated net worth of over $100 million following his big-money move. He has shown his obvious quality quite a few times for both his club and country. Inconsistency and injuries have been Achilles’ heel in his career.
Joao Felix’s salary and brand Endorsements
Joao Felix signed a long-term 6-year contract with Atletico in 2019. He earns a staggering $294,000 per week and $1.3 million a month for the Spanish club. He earns close to $15 million in salaries. His remaining 4 years of the contract will see him earn a massive $60 million.
