Barca News
Atlético de Madrid and Barça already have a long history of joint operations in recent years. The most recent is the transfer of Memphis Depay that left a purchase option on Carrasco that has not been executed.
Joao Félix’s offer to Barça could precipitate some kind of loan swap, since the colchoneros had been interested in Kessié and Ferrán Torres in recent weeks.
For now, Barça and Atlético maintain that there has been no contact between the clubs, although Joao Félix ‘s agent , Jorge Mendes, has spoken with both.
The mattress club wanted to sell the Portuguese permanently, but there are no offers and a new assignment could be the solution .
And Atlético, in addition, wants to reinforce its forward and midfield and Ferrán Torres and Kessié are very much to Simeone’s liking and are on the exit ramp of the Blaugrana club despite the fact that no offer for them has come to fruition.
The big stumbling block is the player’s salary, which already pushed Atlético back when it became interested in Kessié’s situation.
