Joao Felix's future at Atletico Madrid has been cast into further doubt after the forward held 'tense' talks with club chiefs, according to reports.
The Portugal international spent the second half of last season on loan with Premier League giants Chelsea, where he made 20 appearances in all competitions.
Despite a relatively satisfying spell on an individual note, the Blues decided against pursuing a permanent deal for Felix, whose time in London now looks to have jeopardised his place in Diego Simeone's Atletico side.
Last week it was confirmed that the 23-year-old's No 7 shirt - which he'd worn last season - was given to returning star Antoine Griezmann.
