The FC Barcelona has in Joao Félix a very interesting option to reinforce his attack this summer. In some statements filtered by the journalist Fabrizio Romano, the mediapunta ensured that it dreams with playing in the Barça since it was boy, with which remains clear his ofrecimiento to a Barcelona group that follows looking for alternative for the forward.
"It would love me play in the Barça. Always it went my dream from boy", ensured the one of Viseu. With agreement until June of 2027, the player of 23 years will look for a new cession after playing to loan the last semester in Chelsea, club where could not surrender to the level expected. The relation of the luso with Diego Simeone is broken from finals of the past year, by which his exit of the Athletic of Madrid is almost safe.
The Barça, absolute priority for Joao Félix
"Always it has been my first option and would love me join me to the Barça", added Joao in the statements shared by Fabrizio Romano. With a value of current market of 50 million euros and a clause of rescission of 350 'kilos', the international Portuguese has to resolve an exit to loan, without option of compulsory purchase and, probably, accepting a discount salarial to have options to arrive to a Barça that follows engaged with the Fair Play financial.
Félix wins around 6 million net euros by season with the Atleti, a quantity that would engage the accounts of the mass salarial Barcelona. Although the club trusts to inscribe to time to all his reinforcements, fichar to another player with a wage high would engage the financial planning, of not being by some important sale that can close in the weeks to come (Franck Kessié).
The Athletic has to facilitate his exit
Considering the bad relation between Joao Félix and Simeone, the managerial 'colchonera' would not have to put fetters to the exit of the '7'. Chelsea finished paying 11 'kilos' by the cession of the mediapunta in January, a mount that it included the wage of the player. In summer, is very likely that so much the club like the footballer have to go down his pretences, unless it arrive a new important offer of the Premier or another powerful league (Arabia, for example).
In the meantime, the Barça will follow attentive to a player that likes a lot to the technical body, but whose profile would be difficult to incorporate for the 2023/24, considering the quantity of extremes and interiors with which explains the staff. By the contrary, lto priority of the market culé regarding forwards refers keeps on being fichar a '9' acting of Robert Lewandowski, since Vitor Roque will arrive in 2024.
