It’s a funny game he’s busy playing Joao Felix Next to Atletico Madrid. Returning from his loan at Chelsea with his tail slightly between his legs, given the failure of his stay in England (red for his debut, he gradually lost his place), the 23-year-old Portuguese should not stay long in the Spanish capital.
On the one hand, the player does not hide his desire to go elsewhere while his relationship with Diego Simeone does not look good, and on the other hand, it is clear that the club wants to get rid of him because the player’s behavior began to disturb him behind the scenes at Civitas Metropolitano: Joao Félix clashed with his sporting director in the middle of training and publicly announced that he dreams of playing for Atlético.
Barcelona’s first choice
Where will the striker bought by the Colchoneros for 127m in 2019 land be? It was cited in The Paris You Don’t Want. We also mentioned him at Benfica but the player has an idea: to join Barcelona. “I would like to play for Barcelona. Barcelona has always been my first choice and I would like to join Barcelona. It’s always been my dream since I was a kid. If that happens, it will be a dream come true for me.
Is it possible to move to the Blaugrana in light of the continued complexity of the financial situation of the Catalan club and its inability to complete the transfer of Bernardo Silva for these reasons? Atlético Madrid would like to recoup a significant portion of its stake and the solution could go through a one-year loan with an option to buy.
One last break?
As for Joao Felix, we hope Barcelona can finish this move because the separation from his club seems to run very deep. If we still had to give an example to show him, Atlético took his number 7 to give it to Antoine Griezmann. New evidence that he is an outcast and that we no longer really depend on him.
The player’s father tried to calm things down in the Portuguese media: “Of course this situation affects him, but he has to keep calm, because things will work out one way or another. Whatever he decides, it’s good for us. Joao has an agent who takes care of him, that’s Jorge Mendes. They are the ones who run it, I don’t have anything concrete. I don’t like being told that there is such-and-such possibility, because it creates expectations that may not be met. »
At 23 years old, Lusitano still has (usually) good years ahead of him, but it’s time to stabilize and do well over time. Otherwise, he risks wasting enormous talent.
