Felix Close to Barcelona Move
Joao Felix is interested in joining FC Barcelona this summer. He made it known that he wanted to join the club. The footballer, who is 23 years old, is a forward. His estimated market worth is €50 million.
Diego Simeone, the coach of Atletico Madrid, has no intentions for him. Last weekend, Atletico Madrid fans screamed insults at him. This has made it plain that the supporters will not welcome him back. There have been rumors he may try to terminate his contract. Barcelona is a big fan of his.
According to AS’s Manu Sainz, Joao Felix is on the verge of joining Barça. The possible transaction entails a loan with a buy option. Atletico Madrid wants around €15 million for the loan of the 23-year-old, although the sum will lower as the deadline nears.
As a result, Felix is ready to wait for a week or two. This would allow Barcelona to finalize his signature with a lower loan price.
Deco’s Hiring Boosts Chances of Felix Move to Barcelona
Furthermore, the transfer is favored by Deco’s hiring as sporting director, according to the source, because the former midfielder immensely admires his compatriot.
According to the report, Mateu Alemany was not in favor of signing Felix. However, with Deco now in charge and Joan Laporta’s well-documented affection for the player, the transfer becomes much more feasible.
Manager Xavi was first skeptical of the notion but is now eager to accept Felix into the club. This transition is owing to the departure of Ousmane Dembele and the uncertainty surrounding Ansu Fati’s future.
As a result, he rejected Saudi Arabian offers, may be one step closer to fulfilling his ambition of relocating to Barcelona.
