Atletico Madrid's veteran Koke thinks the Portuguese should return to Wanda Metropolitano after a loan at Chelsea
Atletico Madrid captain Koke Resurrecion has admitted that the media storm surrounding Joao Felix did not help Atletico Madrid. Felix's departure, now on loan at Chelsea, has influenced and improved the atmosphere at Atletico.
Los Colchoneros are currently on a nine-match unbeaten run since Felix left for Chelsea, and their points tally in that time has only been bettered by Barcelona.
🚨 There are indications are that Atletico Madrid will be prepared to accept a figure in the region of £80million for Joao Felix rather than anything close to his €350million release clause. #CFC

Speaking to Onda Cero, Koke admitted that the noise that came with Felix was not helping matters in Madrid.
"It was focused on a lot, whether or not a teammate played (Joao Felix), and I think it did not benefit the team much."
However, he did soften his take by saying that he wanted Felix to return to his best for Atleti.
"But well, it is true that he is a spectacular player, very important at Atletico Madrid, who is now on loan for a few months and we wish him all the best so that he gets back in good shape and returns 100% with us."
