Joan Laporta has confirmed that FC Barcelona will be able to stay with the 'Joaos' beyond June 30, 2024, but they will have to find the formula to 'haggle' against an Atlético de Madrid that has not lowered its economic demands
"It interests us that they remain in the Barça. We think to face these negotiations in a short period of time because, as you know, Deco is scheduling the best way to negotiate. With the Athletic of Madrid and the Manchester City have a beautiful friendship", has declared recently Joan Laporta, president of the FC Barcelona, on the possible continuity of Joao Félix and Cancel. The blaugrana want to and expect that they continue.
The question of the million is how will achieve it. And it is that, in spite of the good relation between the clubs, the economic situation follows without being ideal and does not allow big outlays, especially when it still remains for resolving the subject of the to registration of Gavi, that is in the first staff by court order, and of the own Vitor Roque, the one who will land in January covering the square of the midfield player sevillano, but that in June will suppose an extra effort for the Barcelona.
From the club, in all the opportunities, have left clear that will attain all the aims and that also will arrive new signings... But the how? It is in the mind of all the barcelonistas, remembering all what have suffered in the last summers to inscribe in LaLiga to his footballers. Especially in the case of Joao Félix, the situation concerns. It has trascended that the Barça will bet by 'give back' the strategy of the 'case Griezmann' to the Athletic of Madrid, but could carry a significant 'slam'.
The aim of the Barça and the posture of the Athletic with Joao Félix
The intention of the Catalan group is to repeat the history, but benefiting this time. They want to extend the cession of the international with Portugal to a second season and include an option of purchase 'reduced'. It is worth it to remember that the French was yielded, by two years, with an option of purchase of 40 millions that went to be compulsory in case that it played 50% of the parties (at least 45 minutes) and the rojiblancos achieved to dribble the price to the half. They finished paying 20 'kilos'.
The problem, in this opportunity, is that from the Cívitas Metropolitan do not give by defeated in his attempts to sell to Joao Félix by a high price. In fact, according to an information of 'GOAL', are very happy with the performance and mejoría of the attacker of 24 years, conscious that, between better play, greater will be his available price. They keep the idea to sell him by 70 millions, as minimum. A price that, without place to doubts, the Barça can not allow. They will have to throw of imaginative formulas for 'dribble' to the Athletic.
