Joao Félix wants to stay at Barça for a long time , and his plan is to stay beyond the current season. He’s regained his confidence, and it’s been a long time since you’ve seen him having so much fun on a pitch. Little by little he is beginning to be the world star he promised at the beginning, and who amazed everyone playing in the ranks of Benfica, which led to him being transferred to Atlético de Madrid for a record number: 120 millions of euros.
But it didn’t take long for the Portuguese star to fade away, and with Diego Pablo Simeone he was never able to show his best version. He was playing too far away from the opponent’s area, and was not making contact with the ball as much as he would have liked. In addition, he never finished fitting in the dressing room, and he also did not win the affection of the fans, who ended up hating him. Luckily, Xavi Hernández crossed his path, and he became his salvation.
And since the first day, the Catalan coach has given him opportunities, and has made the winner of the Golden Boy in 2019 feel very comfortable on the grass. He occupies a demarcation that he loves, and in which he feels like a protagonist. In addition, he has the continuity that he was denied in Civitas Metropolitano. Joan Laporta and Deco are very pleased with the 23-year-old attacker, and would also be very happy to be able to keep him.
However, and being realistic, it is practically impossible for this to happen. Enrique Cerezo is requesting more than 80 million euros to allow the departure of Joao Félix, and Atleti prefers to sell him abroad, before he continues at the Camp Nou. This has forced the Blaugrana to have to look for alternatives for the offensive plot, and they believe they have found a very interesting one, and which would be more economical. Because Jadon Sancho could land much cheaper.
He will not continue at Manchester United, because of the personal problems he has with the coach, Erik Ten Hag, who has removed him from the group, and they would be willing to open the doors to him for a figure close to 50 ‘kilos’.
Sancho, a new Joao Félix case?
Right now, betting on Sancho is a risky bet, seeing how erratic his performance has been since arriving in the Premier League in the summer of 2021. But he could become a new Joao Félix case.
If Xavi manages to recover the best version of the English magician, Barça could enjoy one of the best footballers on the planet.
