Joao Félix has made a public statement about his wishes to sign for Barça. However, the Barcelona club will only be able to enter fully into his incorporation if certain conditions are met

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Joao Félix has done a statement of love to the FC Barcelona in the last hours. The attacker has pronounced on his win of recalar in the City Condal during this summer and has been the journalist Fabrizio Romano the one who has commissioned to filter the information that has taken to all by surprise, including to both clubs of LaLiga.

The Athletic of Madrid did not take in answering to the intentions of the footballer and left clear to his representative, Jorge Mendes, that have to fulfil some conditions so that it can go out of the Cívitas Metropolitan. With this on the table, in Barcelona also there are several factors that have to give so that the Portuguese can defend the elastic Barcelona the next campaign.

The Athletic will have to reduce his pretences

The first of them is the value of his traspaso. For anybody is a secret that the culés cross a delicate economic situation and are not to disburse big montos during the rest of the market. The 'Operation Gone out' is key but nowadays is agrounded and there are not important offers by the names that find in the ramp of exit. The colchoneros will ask a mount between 50 and 70 million euros by Joao Félix, something that is unfeasible for the sportive direction.

It is thus that the alternative that would handle would be a simple cession, with option of purchase or a barter of players that can interest to the Athletic. So much Ferran Torres like Eric García could be pieces that call the attention of the 'Cholo' Simeone, although it seems little likely that Xavi Hernández give off of any of them in an exchange that would not favour to the changing room.

Joao Félix can not earn the same

Another condition would be his wage. In case that the stars range and the Barça arrive to an agreement with the Madrilenian, will have to go down his wage to fit inside the rules of the Fair Play. At present it perceives some 15 million gross euros that are out of the limits of the institution, by what would have to recess his income almost 50% if it wants to form part of the Catalan staff. Like this the things, treats of a very complicated operation that, for the moment, would not be inside the plans of the club.
