Benfica redoubles its offensive for Joao Félix and moves him further and further away from FC Barcel

Joao Félix knew this week the interest of the Benfica in bringing him of turn to Portugal, and although the Portuguese forward has more doors to leave definitively of the Athletic of Madrid, especially in the Premier League and Saudi Arabia, the lusos seem decided. The player certainly has like option preferred to the FC Barcelona, but in front of the stage that it is not a priority by the 'fair play' financial, follows moving away of the Barcelona club.

The president Joan Laporta wants to to the luso, but the Barça wants to invest in the arrival of Nico Williams and only will go again to by the player of the Athletic if the own player presiona to play again like Barcelona, especially with a new cession. But plan that is going on down the moment the group culé has opened the door to a Benfica that even has decided to increase his bet by the forward.

The Benfica already has increased his bet by Joao Félix

And it is that from Portugal inform that Athletic and Benfica are very near to arrive to an agreement of traspaso by the player, subtracting only the "himself" of the own Joao to concretise his return to Portugal. The agreement could arrive by 30 million euros, by 50% of the rights of the pass of the player, what would turn him into the most expensive signing of the history of the club luso.

As it explains 'Correio of Manha', the team lisboea has put all the obstinacy after speaking with the agent of the player, Jorge Mendes, knowing besides that the Barça right now does not work in closing operations by his problems with the limit salarial. The Portuguese club already offered 20 millions in half of the pass although all could close in these 30 millions, a figure that the Barça does not consider in any moment, not even by 100% of the forward.

Joao Félix always has prioritised to be still in the Barça and like this communicated it to him to Deco t to the own Laporta, ensuring that it is had to expect, but the apparition of the Benfica has changed everything by what means to return to his country and to the club in which it formed , and where besides had his best version. The Benfica thinks that can ensure him to the forward a winning project to compete in Europe and like this try have a historical season, with Joao like his big star.
