Joao Félix and Cancelo have not changed their minds about their future at FC Barcelona

The continuity of Joãor Félix and Joãor Cancel in the FC Barcelona of face to the season 2024/25 does not seem to be a simple subject to resolve. In principle, according to desveló Joan Laporta in his last apparition in 'Barça One', the intention of the club seems to be renew his cessions: "we Want that the Joao's continue, the situation has not changed and are working in that they continue a season more", expressed the president. However, further of this will of the institution to have these players and of the wish of both to be still in the team, the reality is that it still is missing to confront the negotiation with his respective groups, which seems to be the most complicated in this operation.

At first sight, and considering what has informed in the last days, the case that seems to be more complicated is the one of Joãor Cancel. The Manchester City, proprietary club of his index card until 2027, although it no longer has he in his sportive planning to future and is had to leave it go out, is clear that does not plan to leave it go under any circumstance, but it looks for to obtain the greater rédito possible by a player by which in his moment invested a total of 65 M€ to incorporate it.

The conditions that would impose the 'citizens' to leave go to Cancel

Besides, as we comment recently in FCBN, the cast mancuniano seems to be interested mainly in selling to the of Barreiro, pricing it in some 30 M€, as it commented in the English newspaper 'The Sun'. Although east mount seem affordable, for the current economy of the FC Barcelona, that is full of uncertainty in appearances like the 'fair play' and the rule 1/1, could be prohibitiva and perhaps was not the most realistic option.

In this point, the referred source also sustains that the 'citizens' would be opened to a new loan, but east would have different conditions to the previous that carried to the side to the City Condal in the season 2023/24. In this occasion, would require a clause of compulsory purchase, an economic compensation by the year of cession and the complete payment of the weekly wage of 180.000 pounds of the Portuguese (some 210.000 € in average).

These contractual variations represent additional complications for the Barcelona cast, by what it will be necessary to expect to see how develops the situation after the Eurocopa. By the moment, seems that the postures are quite distant and the combined Catalan will have to be extremely intelligent to tackle this negotiation.

The case of Joãor Félix, slope of negotiation with the Athletic

In the case of Joãor Félix, the situation is similar. The Portuguese, as it mentioned recently in the pódcast 'Nude Project', has clear that although it wishes to remain in the FC Barcelona, "the team that dreamed from the infancy", knows that it does not depend on he. In front of this, the Athletic of Madrid seems to have a stronger position in the negotiation, since, to the equal that sucede with Cancel in the Manchester City, although they do not wish to have the luso in his staff for the next season, neither plan to sell it to an affordable price, considering that the one of Viseu appears like the costliest incorporation in his history, with an investment of 127 M€, of which the 'colchoneros' expect to recover something.

Since the combined culé does not seem to be in position to pay the 60 million euros that demands the group 'rojiblanco' to leave go to the forward, could opt by a new cession with identical conditions to the ones of the season 2023/24. As it desvelado by 'The Desmarque', this loan would be simple and with the Catalan club doing charge of the index card and the wage of the player, that Joãor would have to recess as it did it in the present campaign. This question does not seem to represent a big problem for the luso, the one who already has showed that is had to offer all the possible eases to follow linked to the Barcelonan picture.
