Will Joao Felix continue his adventure in Barcelona? He reveals that Barcelona leaders want this Spanish newspaper Marka .
The Portuguese striker is on loan from Atletico Madrid, and his loan logically ends in June. For Barcelona, its extension depends on two factors. On the one hand, there is the purely sporting factor related to the player's performance, and on the other hand, the economic factor.
On a sporting level, Barcelona wants to keep the player. The striker is performing well this season. He has scored eight goals in all competitions, although it is true that Xavi sometimes leaves him on the bench, especially after a bad match against Almeria, but in general the Portuguese is convincing.
Barcelona are not willing to break the bank
The problem Barcelona faces is more financial. The Catalan club cannot afford the costs of including the player, whose transfer fee requested by Atletico Madrid ranges between 70 and 80 million euros. Result: Barcelona could offer Atletico a new loan for Joao Felix for an additional season, according to the Spanish newspaper.
Barcelona are not willing to break the bank for the Portuguese, especially since they have the possibility of playing Vitor Roque on the wing. Ferran Torres is also an option on the left for next season, as Barcelona have no plans to release him. Barcelona can also count on the return of Ansu Fati, who is currently on loan at Brighton. There is even a further option, which is the return of 20-year-old Estanis Pedrola, who before his injury was having a good season at Sampdoria (3 goals in 9 matches). Suffice it to say that if Atletico Madrid does not accept a new loan from Joao Felix, FC Barcelona will not go jaundiced…
