The transfer of Joao Félix was conceived at the end of the summer market, once the Portuguese managed to convince Atlético de Madrid to facilitate his departure. As confirmed by 'Relevo', the player agreed to a contract extension and salary reduction to be able to leave
Joao Félix attained to go out of the Athletic of Madrid when his cession to the FC Barcelona seemed impossible. The group blaugrana attained to do box with the traspaso of Ez Abde to the Real Betis, in addition to going down mass salarial with the cession of Ansu Fati to the Brighton, but the accounts did not give because of the delay in the collection of 20 corresponding millions to the 'crowbar' of Free Football. However, the luso and his agent, Jorge Mendes, traced a leaf of route that facilitated his landing in Catalonia.
As it has filtered 'Relief', the international Portuguese accepted to recess the wage to the half (will happen to earn 18 'kilos' net to 9M€ this year), no without before extend his agreement with the group 'colchonero' a pair of seasons more, until June of 2029. Like this, LaLiga could not brake his exit and Joao will be able to play this season to loan in the Barça, without option of purchase and with a wage that fits in the finances culés.
The Barça only will pay the wage of Joao Félix
In this way, the Barça will not pay at all to the Atleti by the cession of Félix, except the assume the whole of his new wage this season. Chelsea, instead, yes credited 11 'kilos' to the 'colchoneros' by the loan of the mediapunta in January, an operation that went a fiasco for the group 'blue'. After a semester for the forget in London, the one of Viseo expects to put to tone physically the before possible, as it did not have shooting in the pre-season with the group 'rojiblanco'.
In fact, Joao does not play an official party from the month of June with the Portuguese selection, but Xavi Hernández did not doubt in including him in the announcement for the party of the Sunday in front of the Osasuna. After a very complicated summer, exasperated for clearing his exit of the team 'rojiblanco', the egarense understands that the best for the player of 23 years is to work to the pair of the group to go in in competitive rhythm.
Joao Will have to return to the Athletic in 2024
Nevertheless, further of his performance in the 2023/24, Joao Félix will have to return to the Athletic the next summer for, probably, look for a new team. The price that the 'colchoneros' expect ingresar by the luso (at least 60 million euros) is very elevated for the finances culés and, except surprise, the most likely is that the Barça do not try to negotiate by his traspaso to the term of the season, unless his performance was stellar from beginning to end.
