Joao Felix is seen in tense talks with Atletico Madrid chief Andrea Berta after the ex-Chelsea loanee was stripped of his No 7 shirt and forced to train with the youth team on his return

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 Portuguese 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 successful stint at Stamford Bridge, Felix's six-month stint in London looks to have jeopardised his place within 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.
