Joao Felix has been a very valuable player for Barca this season, but only at certain times. Perhaps that's why Barça are clear that they won't make too much of an effort for him once the season is over
This Tuesday already inform in FCBN that the FC Barcelona sustained a new meeting with the agent Jorge Mendes in key Joaos. The agent luso, key factor in the arrival of the Portuguese to Catalonia the past summer, has clear that both footballers, for now, prioritise to remain in the Barcelona club, further of the change of trainer. However, the complex financial situation culé narrow the margin to negotiate with Manchester City and Athletic of Madrid, respectively, being the negotiation with the group colchonero the most difficult for the Barcelona interests.
And it is that the Madrilenian group has clear that it wants to recover the greater quantity of his millionaire investment of more than 120 'kilos' that made does 4 seasons, by what his exit of the Metropolitan of definite way would not give by less than 70 or 60 millions. In this stage, and with the showed by the forward, everything seems to indicate that the Barça only would struggle by a new cession of Joao Félix of face to the following season.
The formula that the Barça considers almost of exclusive way
Like this it has explained it the journalist Gerard Romero in his account of Twitch, signalling that the current feeling in the Catalan group goes through to try a new loan of the ex Benfica for like this keep him like part of the project. The big problem is that out of this formula, which now yes that it could include an option of purchase if it was strictly necessary, does not seem that the Barça was by the work of fichar to the Portuguese for the 24/25, adding besides the variant of the new míster.
And it is that it is clear that the negotiation with the Athletic will not be simple, by what hardly can arrive to an agreement before 30 June, highlighting besides that the team rojiblanco surely will expect offers of Arabia or of the Premier League that it can convince him, as well as to the own player. It is thus that the announcement of the nueov trainer, and the plans that this can have, will be also a key point in if Joao Félix follows or no dressed of Barcelona.
Joao Félix has remained backwards with his performance
For now, the '14' clearly has lost leadership in the second half of season, with a total of 1.706 minutes in 31 parties (8 goals and 5 assistances), but grieve a bunch of titularities in what it goes of this 2024. An injury of ankle moved it away by a month of the field of game and besides Xavi Hernández had returned to the system with four mediocampistas, something that in profit of the Portuguese, will not follow at least by the next 3 or 4 weeks.
