Joao Felix's Value Could Be 'Doubled or Tripled' in a Year, Says Felipe Monteiro

Joao Felix's value could be "doubled or tripled" within a year, according to his new Atletico Madrid team-mate Felipe Monteiro.

Both players have moved to the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium from Portugal this summer.

Centre-back Felipe signed from Porto for €20 million (£18 million), while Atleti smashed their transfer record to snap up Felix from Benfica for €126 million (£113 million).
