Atletico Madrid sporting director Andrea Berta is prepared to see Joao Felix leave in January.

Felix has told Berta he wishes to leave Atletico and has been informed he won't be blocked should the right offer arrive, says AS.

For the moment, however, no proposals have arrived for the Portugal international.

While Berta and Atletico would prefer a sale, they're prepared to accept an initial loan arrangement for the attacker.

Felix has been linked with Manchester United, which tried for the youngster in the summer, with Barcelona also an option.
