Paris Saint-Germain could move for Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix during the January transfer window, according to a report.

Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly considering moving for Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix during the January transfer window.

The 23-year-old has found it difficult to show his best form for Atletico during the 2022-23 campaign, managing just three goals and three assists in 17 appearances in all competitions.

Felix still has another four years left to run on his contract at Wanda Metropolitano, but there has been a host of speculation surrounding his future in recent weeks.

The Portugal international's relationship with Atletico boss Diego Simeone has allegedly broken down, and a recent report claimed that the La Liga side were prepared to listen to offers for him in 2023.

Manchester United are said to be considering moving for the attacker next year, with the club looking to bring in a long-term replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo.

However, according to Le Parisien, there is also genuine interest from PSG, with the French giants considering making a move for him during the January transfer window.

The Ligue 1 champions were linked with Robert Lewandowski and Gianluca Scamacca over the summer, but the former joined Barcelona from Bayern Munich, while the latter made the move to West Ham United from Sassuolo.

The report claims that PSG could attempt to sign Felix on loan in January, and the Portuguese is said to be open to the idea of moving to the French giants in the middle of the campaign.

Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and Lionel Messi have all been in impressive scoring form for the capital outfit early in the season.

Mbappe already has 18 goals in all competitions, while Neymar and Messi have 15 and 12 respectively, but the club are said to be keen to bring in a centre-forward to give them a different option in the second half of the campaign.

Felix has only been in Atletico's starting XI on five occasions in La Liga this season, while he started just three of their six matches in the group stage of the Champions League.

In total, the forward has represented the Red and Whites on 128 occasions in all competitions, contributing 32 goals and 18 assists in the process.

Felix was not in the squad for Wednesday's 1-0 defeat to Mallorca in La Liga, while his last start in Spain's top flight came against Real Madrid in the middle of September.

While PSG are said to be lining up a January move, Man United would allegedly only be interested in signing the former Benfica youngster during next summer's transfer window.
