Joao Felix moved from Benfica in Portugal to Spain's Atletico Madrid as the world's second-most expensive teenager, thanks to a loan processed in trendy Fitzrovia. Less than a fortnight after making that £113m deal a reality last July, 23 Capital were helping Barcelona meet Atletico's £107m buyout clause for Antoine Griezmann. "We call ourselves a capital and solutions company for sport, music and entertainment - a sports bank, for lack of a better term. Atletico broke their transfer record for Felix just two years after moving into their £220m Metropolitano home. "We are truly aligned to our clients, the football industry, to drive value for them in a symbiotic relationship, and that is what credit should be."
