Joao Felix arrives at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano in the company of a compatriot in the club's history books in the form of one of his biggest fans, Paulo Futre.
The former midfielder discussed the arrival of the forward after his official presentation on Monday.
"I think he's a mix of Rui Costa, Kaka and Joao Pinto," Futre told Radio MARCA.
"From Rui Costa he has the elegance, from Kaka the one-on-ones, and from Joao Pinto the goalscorer's instinct."
The price tag is not a major concern for Futre either, despite smashing the club's record fee by 50 million euros more than the existing one.
"With Joao Felix, the topic of money will come up a lot but if on matchday seven he produces a great display against Real Madrid, that will all end," he insisted.
The fan favourite also discussed the ongoing controversy surrounding Antoine Griezmann's departure from the club.
"What's happening with Griezmann is surreal, I've never seen anything like it in world football," Futre admitted.
"Atletico expected the money on July 1 and it still hasn't come, it's clear they have to report him and Barcelona."
With over 200 appearances and more than 50 goals in all competitions for Atletico, Felix will hope to follow in Futre's footsteps in the near future.

No one can't underestimate the great coach of the planet. Diego Simone believes him that means he worths this big amount. We needed this type of transfer and he made for us. In near future, Felix would approve him.

Am I the only one who can't unsee the difference between Joao Felix and young Sergio Aguero? Damn. Just came to my mind, Aguero looked the same when he was young. Striking resemblance. They look like twins. If he can be the next Aguero, the money is worth.

I mean in regards to leaving early I never say that because you can’t blame a kid for making the type of money these guys are getting, I just think when you look at the fact he was bought for just 10 million less then mbappe, I feel he is no where close to tha type of talent

Yea he probably won’t cause 1 i think he left to soon and second Atletico is not the spot for him Renato Sanches left way early now he struggling and he was great for national team and SLB but I hope Atletico won’t burn Felix

€126m for some youngster who hasn’t achieved anything significant yet. Bloody hell! I hope he lives up to everybody’s expectations. Pressure on him but Simeone is a good coach.

Yeah joined wrong Madrid team I cant blame him, wrong Madrid team did paid price for him, heck they even kicked Griezmann & gave Jersey number 7 It's like NBA 2019 Champions Toronto Raptors star 'Kawhi Leonard' joining LA Clippers instead of LA Lakers

Griezman's shirt number is no longer his. Wat does this imply. It certainly means he will not b in ATM next season. Where he's heading to is still a mystery.

Just hope this is not another Renato Sanchez. Purchased for a fortune to go on the shelf. Good luck to 'menino de ouro' 🤞

Too much hype tho. Good future it seems, but one good season with Benfica doesn't mean he should be priced at 126 million euros.

Completly a mad transfer. He is more of a 65m player tops rn. But they are banking on his potential. It will either be a brilliant deal or a completly stupid one. Still woldnt like to be in his boots. 1 season and sold for 126m. Excpectations will be astronomic.
