Joao Felix's future is somewhat uncertain at the moment, it is pretty obvious that he isn't going to play for Athletico Madrid again, so he has to leave if he wants to continue playing football. I don't think Barcelona can afford to get him before this transfer window closes, Barcelona are in a financial crisis, thus there is no way they can get Joao Felix registered with them, except there are outgoings. Having said that, i think Joao Felix is going to end up in Saudi Arabia, their transfer window doesn't close at the same time with that of Europe, so they still have some time to work on the deal if Joao Felix's move to Barca falls through.
From the reports I've seen so far in the news, Barcelona president Joan Laporta wants to bring the Portuguese international to the Camp Nou and the player is keen to join the Catalan club this summer as well.
There's been offers from some Saudi Arabian clubs who are very much interested in signing Joao Felix but he wants to remain in Europe but more importantly to him, he wants to play for Barcelona and the club is reportedly on it to make it happen
Speculation about Joao Felix's future has become one of the things that has attracted quite a lot of attention at the end of this summer's transfer market. as is known, after his loan period ended with Chelsea, he returned to his original club Atletico Madrid. unfortunately, this player from Portugal was not included in Diego Simeone's game plan, even Joao Felix also had time to train with Atleti's junior squad in pre-season. and this season, never got the chance to play at all.
This situation certainly made Felix start to be linked with the idea of leaving Wanda Metropolitano, especially since he also expressed his desire to join Barcelona. Rumor has it, Fabrizio Romano reports that Barca will start their bid to sign the player in the next 48 hours, Barcelona are currently looking for a way to sign the player without violating the rules regarding Financial Fair Play, and hope to reach a solution that will allow them to sign the Portuguese star. with loan player status.
So, let's just wait and see whether Joao Felix will join Camp Nou. or, he will leave for the Saudi Pro League.
Another rumor, quoted from 90MIN UK, is that Chelsea is also interested in recruiting Joao Felix again, this was done after the London club failed to recruit Emile Smith Rowe from Arsenal and Michael Olise from Palace. Whether this rumor is true or not, we'll just have to wait because this summer's transfer window will end soon.
