The good beginning of season of Joao Félix has supposed a good news so much for the FC Barcelona as for the Athletic of Madrid. Although the group blaugrana has been the most benefited with the arrival of the luso, lto managerial 'rojiblanca' understands that, while better surrender the mediapunta, better rédito economic will be able to take out by his imminent traspaso in the summer of 2024.

And it is that the renewal of Diego Simeone like trainer 'colchonero', in addition to the public wish of Joao to play in the Barça, close definitively the door to his possible return to the Cívitas Metropolitan. In this sense, the newspaper 'ACE' has filtered the price that sondea the Atleti by the one of Viseo the next year, as long as the player keep the level showed during the month of September in Catalonia.

The Athletic has it clear: Joao Félix will not go out by less than 80 'kilos'

In accordance with 'ACE', the managerial 'rojiblanca' estimates that the traspaso of Joao Féix can leave around 80 million euros in the arks 'colchoneras'. The Athletic paid 127 'kilos' to the Benfica by the mediapunta in 2019, being the most expensive purchase of the history for the Madrilenian group. Thus, the club will try to amortise the greater possible quantity of that mount with the sale of a player that does not explain in the plans of the 'Cholo' and that neither has interest in going back to Madrid.

The luso did all the possible, beside Jorge Mendes, to force his cession to the Barça, something that finally achieved on the closing of the market estival. The 3 goals and 2 assistances in his first 7 parties have left satisfied to Xavi Hernández and the fans culé, but is clear that the season is long and, to be still in the XI, has to follow surrendering to tope in a team that, in this moment, lacks variants in attack for having to Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski in the infirmary.

The Barça hardly will pay what expects the Athletic by Joao Félix

For the finances culés, the 80 'kilos' that pretends ingresar the Atleti by Félix are impagables now. The economy of the club only could pay a traspaso similar if it concretised an important sale and, in this case, the priority would be to go to by Bernardo Silva or Martín Zubimendi, two players that Xavi expects from does time. Claro is, the things could change if Joao complete a stellar season, in whose case is likely that the Barça look for to negotiate a new cession, since the player has agreement until June of 2027.

At present, the one of Viseo is valued in 50 million euros in Transfermarkt, a value that probably will increase if the mediapunta follows adding good performances with the Barça. With 23 years, the luso keeps on being a footballer with a very interesting projection, but, for next summer, the priority will be to reinforce the centre of the field, as the directive understands that the arrival of Vitor Roque will leave to the leading culé with sufficient potential as to go to by everything in the 2024/25. Nevertheless, fault a lot for the next market estival and, for now, Joao Félix only has to concern for improving his performance.
