Joao Félix would have decided to wait for Barça. Despite the insistence of Atleti and Aston Villa to close his return to the Premier League, the Portuguese would be willing to wait for the offer from the culés
Joao Félix's future seems to have a clear destiny, or at least that's what it seems like in the Portuguese attacker's plans. FC Barcelona has not closed the door definitively on his return, but he would be subject to the fall of one of the signings negotiated from Barcelona. Meanwhile, the footballer would have decided to wait for the Blaugranas, ignoring the 'despair' of an Atlético de Madrid that was betting on him leaving for Aston Villa.
Once his loan with the Catalan team expired, Can Barça gave him their word that they would do everything possible to have him back in their ranks. Although the operation has been 'cooling' throughout the summer, contacts between both parties have not been broken, and both Deco and Hansi Flick consider that the forward is a good market opportunity and could have an important role in the team if your arrival is finalized.
For its part, Benfica insisted on his signing in recent weeks but Félix was not very interested in returning to Portuguese football, a situation that, added to the impossibility of paying a transfer this summer, has led to the doors being closed to him in Lisbon. on his return. Meanwhile, Aston Villa continues to try to sign him through a loan with a mandatory purchase option, and although Atleti is convinced by this offer, Joao remains firm in his position of wearing the Barça shirt again and knows that time is in his favor. .
However, from the Spotify Camp Nou offices, as of today, they have not made any moves, but they are aware that they can get a loan. According to the newspaper 'SPORT', the Colchonero team would like an exchange of loans and footballers such as Iñigo Martínez, Ansu Fati or Vitor Roque would interest 'Cholo' Simeone. But to carry out this alternative, the Indians must convince the footballers to head to the capital and, above all, Barça must go after Joao, something that still has not happened.
Barça sets the deadlines
In this way, it is clear that the Catalans would choose to wait for the final days of the transfer market to make a decision. Félix will take his side and wait for the club's movements, although we will have to see what signings end up being finalized up front and what departures will occur to make room for him in the team. At the moment, the Portuguese is forced to spend time in a club that does not want him, under the orders of a coach, Diego Simeone, with whom he maintains a relationship with him, a priori, quite bad.
