Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has expressed his desire for Joao Felix to remain part of the team, believing he can support Felix in reaching peak performance and becoming a key asset for Barcelona.
Joao Felix’s situation is complicated due to his participation in the ongoing Euros while being under contract with Atletico Madrid, who are seeking to sell him for more than €50 million. However, his limited playing time in the Euros, notably before their recent loss to Georgia, has affected his market value, making it challenging for Atletico Madrid to secure a buyer at their desired price.
Barcelona reportedly does not intend to meet Atletico Madrid’s €50 million asking price for Felix. Instead, Flick and other club officials, including Joan Laporta, see potential in Felix and prefer to retain him. However, due to Barcelona’s financial constraints and Felix’s inconsistent performances last season, they are only considering another loan deal rather than a permanent transfer.
