The negotiation between Barça and Atlético for Joao Félix would fall into the hands of Mateu Alemany

The FC Barcelona can reencontrarse with Mateu Alemany a lot before the thought to negotiate by the future of one of his footballers. As it advanced the journalist Gerard Romero in his podcast 'Jijantes', the ex sportive director Barcelona gathered with the mandamás of the Athletic of Madrid, Miguel Ángel Gil Marín, in the Spanish capital for ultimar the details of his arrival to the group 'colchonero' as manager of the sportive direction.

Mateu Went out of the Barça in summer in spite of falling his signing by the Aston Villa and, since, have sounded several clubs for ficharle, but the 'rojiblancos' seem to have advantage to convince to the Balearic executive to work beside Diego Simeone in the preparation of the staff of the Atleti from next January. With this, Alemany would be the main manager to negotiate with the Barça by the future of a Joao Félix the one who, in June, has to return to Madrid after finalising the season.

The Barça will not have it easy to remain with Joao Félix

With agreement until June of 2027, the luso knows that hardly it will be able to go out by a mount lower to the 60 or 70 million euros, considering that the 'colchoneros' paid 127 'kilos' to the Benfica by his traspaso in 2019. For the Athletic, the good beginning of season of the of Viseo with the culés supposed a good news regarding the revaluation of his index card, but the mediapunta has gone of more to less in the last weeks with the ones of Xavi Hernández.

In this sense, the Barça only would be in conditions to negotiate by a new cession of the international Portuguese, without option of compulsory purchase and with a wage to the drop that do not engage the already adjusted mass salarial culé. Anybody knows better that Mateu Alemany the complex financial situation of the Barça, by which will be simpler, in principle, resolve the operation. If the Athletic insists in a traspaso, hardly will be able to follow dressing the Barcelona T-shirt in the 24/25, further of his wish to continue in the club.

The Athletic goes seriously to by Mateu Alemany

In the meantime, Gil Marín seems decided to 'tie' to the Balearic executive so that it lead the operations 'rojiblancas' in the next markets. The Atleti values the experience and skill of Mateu to negotiate agreements, adjust the mass salarial and sondear the market in search of 'bargains' that facilitate the arrival of reinforcements without engaging with the 'Fair Play' of LaLiga, something that the one of Andratx did of wonder in his years in the Barça. In principle, Alemany would sign by two years, although the terms of his agreement follow without defining .
