Atlético begins to see Joao Félix's loan to Barça as a lesser evil

Joao Félix will be one of the names of the market of signings estival. His cession in the FC Barcelona finalises the next 30 June and, in paper, corresponds him return to the Athletic of Madrid to resolve his future. From the City Condal bet by his continuity, but have gone of bruces in the preliminary conversations with the Madrilenian group, that has denied , up to now, to negotiate under the conditions of the culés.

And it is that, while from the Cívitas Metropolitan always have bet by a sale that allow to recover a part of the investment of 127 million euros that did by him for ficharle from the Benfica, from the Barça keep that only they would negotiate a cession with an option of purchase that was not compulsory. The differences are abysmal, but can have a window in case that, finally, to the rojiblancos close them the door of a traspaso definite.

The two stages of the Athletic with Joao Félix

From the newspaper 'ACE' signal that the Athletic values to Joao Félix in 80 million euros; a mount inferior to the that paid, but a good entry considering that it is a player that does not go in in the plans of the 'Cholo' Simeone and that do not take him in account for the next season. The big 'problem' is that the attacker luso is not a player that, with what has showed in this season, cost this price. All the contrary. The irregularity has been his 'mark' in this course -of there that it surprise, of some way, that the Barça was so convinced of his continuity- and only has annotated nine goals, with four assistances, in 34 parties.

The rojiblancos will have like main option the sale of the footballer, that has agreement until the summer of 2029. They are conscious that from Saudi Arabia would be had to pay said mount, but that in Europe would be very complicated that some team was had to do it... And that hardly Joao want to mudarse to the Half Orient. It is thus that, in case that his sale antoje like complicated, as it seems, will see with good eyes the possibility to negotiate with the culés.

Conversations and long negotiations between Barça and Athletic

There are not doubts that they will try 'colar' an option of purchase that was compulsory. Previously it had informed that it could rondar the 50 million euros and that the Barça would try to reduce it until the 20 'kilos', without that it was compulsory, but there is not at all clear-cut. As it explained the before quoted source, the Athletic will try to remove the 'quebradero' of head that supposes Joao for the club, but will have to be more conscious that never that they will have to yield in his requirements.
