Barca News
Despite not being a signing that had the full confidence of Xavi Hernández, João Félix has earned the right to be the undisputed starter in the plans of the coach from Egara. The Portuguese, who at the beginning of the summer let himself be loved by Barça , has seen his dream of wearing the Blaugrana shirt come true.
An opportunity that, for the time being, he has not wasted, and the fact is that the Golden Boy has fallen standing in the Camp Nou – in this case the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium – and has already put himself in the fans’ pockets cull
João Félix, who arrived in the last few hours of the market alongside the other Portuguese, João Cancelo, has adapted quickly to his new team, looking like he has spent a lifetime playing with his new team-mates.
Xavi had no choice but to bet on the footballer, which he is proving abundantly because Atlético de Madrid paid a million for him to Benfica. The Portuguese has arrived on loan at FC Barcelona , due to the financial problems of the Catalan entity, after an agreement between Jorge Mendes and Joan Laporta.
João Félix will not continue at Barça
Despite the fact that, at first, João Félix was not part of Xavi’s plans for next season, as he had other priorities to strengthen the attack, the Portuguese’s progress has earned him a place in the future FC Barcelona , in which the Egaren technician will continue to take the reins.
So, after generating consensus between Deco, coach and Joan Laporta, for his actions on the field of play, the sports management put a thread on the needle to find out Enrique Cerezo’s intentions towards his player. The mattress makers want to sell the footballer, who does not count for Cholo Simeone .
Faced with this situation, Laporta set the price that his club could pay to take ownership of João Félix. However, from the white-and-red institution, aware of the interest that the Portuguese arouses, and with the pressure exerted by the millionaire Saudi Arabia, they have shot up the starting price of the Lusitanian.
The 2 names to replace Joao Félix
So, the Catalan sports management is already ready to look for a replacement for him, beyond a possible return of Ansu Fati, who has not started his new stage as a Brighton footballer in the best way. In the Blaugrana agenda there are two names that stand out above the rest .
The first of them is that of Nico Williams , a footballer from the Athletic Club who is in negotiations to renew his contract with the lions . At the moment, there is still no agreement, therefore, an intervention by the Catalan team could mean that the understanding will never be reached and see the Spanish international wearing the Barça shirt.
A situation that, for now, seems unlikely. So in their tireless search the Cullers have another big name on the agenda, an old acquaintance, Dani Olmo.
In his recent renewal, the ex-player of the Blaugrana squad included a low termination clause to facilitate a departure from FC Barcelona that both club and footballer have been waiting for a long time.
