At FC Barcelona they are aware that Joao Félix's continuity does not depend solely on the desire of the player and the club. Atlético de Madrid will have all the power in the possible negotiations in 2024
In the last hours has desvelado that the FC Barcelona has taken the firm decision to remain with Joao Félix further of 30 June 2024, when it finishes his cession in the group blaugrana. From all the sectors of the club are very happy with the performance that has had since it arrived, does a month and half, and understand that it is an attacker that can give a lot of joys to the barcelonismo to average and long term. The confidence in him is absolute and like this have done it to him know.
They are varied the sources that coincide in that the Barça, from the month of January, will begin to work in the ideal formula so that the adventure of Joao Félix in the City Condal extend by long more, although from the dispatches are conscious that it is a very difficult operation. From the Athletic of Madrid, every time that have opportunity, celebrate the good performance of the attacker with an unseen message, but very clear: Between better exert , by more money can sell him in 2024.
The posture of the Athletic with Joao Félix
And it is that the Athletic accessed to the simple cession of the player, without option of purchase, with the aim that had opportunities to redeem and go back to be important, something that did not achieve when it was in Chelsea at the beginning of this year. As it comes informing, the intention of the rojiblancos is to recover part of the investment that had done in 2019 when him ficharon from the Benfica. In this moment, paid by him 127 million euros and still remain for amortising some 54 'kilos', apróximadamente.
In this sense, the intention is to cover that mount and generate profits. From it does some time in the offices of the Barça know very well that the operation will not go down of the 70 or 80 'kilos' and, thus, begin to work in the different strategies that can set up to ensure the continuity of the player. Will have in favour that, according to an information of the newspaper 'SPORT', Joao will go back to 'block' any proposal that was not of the Barcelona group to facilitate his stay in the club.
The different alternatives of the Barça
Of there, they will begin the proposals of the culés to the picture colchonero. The first in the list is to achieve the cession by a season more and include an option of compulsory purchase. This option would be feasible as long as the Portuguese expand a year more if agreement with the Athletic, that right now is until 2029. The clause would be in function to his performance and with a much lower price, place would have happened a year more than amortización. It is an alternative that likes a lot in Can Barça, place would be ideal to economic level.
The second option, as they explain from SPORT, is that it produce an exchange of chromiums between the two clubs, an option that from the Cívitas Metropolitan already refused during the past summer, although it does not be necessary to overlook that already they had interested in Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati. The problem is that the difference of the value of the players is abysmal and in Madrid know that they would finish losing, by what is not an alternative that interest them, at least for now. It will depend on how it advance the season and the performance of all the involved.
The last and the one who would try esquivar the Catalan entity is the traspaso definite of the player. They would try that it went by a mount inferior to the 80 million euros and no descarta the possibility that, in addition to paying in 'cash', can include some footballer for abaratar costs. In discussion will be and 'how much' and the 'who', but is a posiblidad that would be much more accessible and attractive for the interests of the group of the capital of Spain.
