The continuity of Joao Félix in the FC Barcelona has turned into an authentic novel in which, day after day, changes the history and whose denouement does not seem next to arrive. In the last days, has lived an alluvium of informations on the posture of Xavi Hernández with the Portuguese, that did not want it in summer and now looks for a half that him 'relieve', the position of the directors -that they want to reach an agreement with the Athletic of Madrid-, the conversations of Deco with the rojiblancos or, finally, the answer that would have received the Catalan entity on his first 'proposed'.
The 'case Joao' it is necessary to explain it by parts. The day of yesterday, 'SPORT' had signalled that it had produced a small approach between Barça and Athletic by the Portuguese. In front of the hastes of the Madrilenian to resolve his future and begin to schedule the season 2024/2025, asked to the Catalans define if they wanted to or no 'remain' to Félix. Jorge Mendes, agent of the footballer, began the conversations to find a formula that benefit to both groups.
For the entity chaired by Joan Laporta the only form that it remain the attacker of 24 years is through a simple cession until 30 June 2025, that is to say, in identical conditions to which has right now. The profit for the 'colchoneros' would arrive in the summer of 2025, put in the 'plan' of Mendes is the possibility to include an option of compulsory purchase in function of aims or the alternative of an exchange of chromiums, although by part of the Barça, further of Ferran Torres that it does not want to move, there are not a lot of players that 'interest' to the Athletic.
The posture -very clear- of the Athletic of Madrid
The true is that, according to a new information of Matteo Moretto, specialist in the market of signings, in 'Relief', the operation will not be so simple as it wanted the Barça. From the Cívitas Metropolitan have left clear that are not by the work of 'give' to the attacker luso by second consecutive year. In spite of that they are conscious that it is impossible that go back to play of rojiblanco, already have left to know to the Barcelona that "is really very very difficult that can repeat the formula with which Joao arrived to the Barcelona the last day of the market of summer".
So that the Athletic access to complete a new cession, would have to have a remuneration of 15 million euros and, besides, an option of purchase when it finalise the agreement that, preferably, would be compulsory. For the group culé is a very complicated alternative, by what the conversations between the sportive areas will have to begin prompt to find a formula that benefit to both teams. Luce like a new 'serial' of summer.
