Joao Félix will have to return to Atlético de Madrid at the end of the season after completing the year on loan that was signed last summer. Barça has always made it clear that it would like to continue counting on him and has already decided its terms
Joao Félix arrived to the FC Barcelona the summer happened like signing crashes and, although in the club are satisfied with him, the reality is that it has not fulfilled with the expecativas that generated after his arrival. A lot of fans culés thought that the brutal quality of the luso at last would explode in the Barça and that would turn into the big star that expected the Athletic of Madrid that went when him fichó of the Benfica. However, although his performance has been generally good, also has been quite irregular, following the same line that had in the Metropolitan.
The Portuguese has marked 8 goals and has given 5 assistances in 30 parties this campaign, and except catastrophe will improve his numbers of the past course (9 and 3). It began like a 'shot' and ilusionó to the parish culé, but with the step of the meetings went turning off, showing little smell goleador and not being all the decisive that it would have to be by the quality that treasures. Many accused him to be too cold in the field and at the end Xavi Hernández removed him his place in the XI to bet by Ferran Torres -until the Valencian fell lesionado-. The ex colchonero, that lesionó does a month shortly before that the one of Foios, no longer was to title in this moment, and now, already recovered, fight to recover his lugar.
The Barça only contemplates to remain to Joao yielded
But whatever happens of here to final of season, the Barcelona already has decided what will do with Joao of face to the course that comes. Although Joan Laporta and Deco are satisfied with him, the plan is not spending a euro with him in shape of traspaso. The Athletic follows asking more than 70 million euros by him and the blaugrana neither pose put in an operation like this because they do not have of margin salarial to do it. Therefore, the idea would be to ask again his cession by a year, paying entirely his wage if it did lacking. It is necessary to remember that this year the wage of the luso has been of 400.000 first euros and of 4 millions afterwards, but in Madrid earned some 7,5 net, by what if no recesses it to him again, that would be his new index card in case that all go out advance.
The Barça carries time thinking in reinforcing the left band, whatever happens with Joao. The barcelonistas know that in spite of the contribution of the '14' and of Ferran in this side is missing disequilibrium and power of decision, by what in case to have sufficient economic margin the plan would be fichar to some extreme more 'top'. In case of not being able to do this, the continuity of Félix would be more necessary, but if the colchoneros denied to another loan or put difficulties, in the Camp Nou could remain to Ansu Fati to compete with Ferran, descartando like this to the ex of the Benfica.
