Manchester United are unlikely to agree to pay £70.5 million for Felix likewise Arsenal.
Yes, Felix is a very good attacking player who can operate as a forward, winger or attacking midfielder, but he has not had the best of times at Atletico and needs to show in the short term what he is capable of before being worthy of over £70 million.
