Unwanted Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix has ordered his representative, Jorge MєɴԀes, to block any transfer movement as the player only wishes to play forBarcelona, ɾєρօɾτsSPORT.
It is more than obvious that Felix is not wanted at Atletico and while there have been loan offers for the forward, theRojiblancosare said set to be chasing only a permanent exit.
Al Hilal’s desperate attempt
Over the last couple of days, Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal have expressed strong interest, although they only want to take him on a season-long loan.
For that, the team from Riyadh and their manager Jorge Jesus have made several attempts, but Felix is only dreaming ofBarcelona.
At the moment, 23-year-oldFelix is only waiting for Barçato come up with an offer and this is why he has asked his entourage to hold all the other negotiations.
Above all, the former Benfica forward, who joined Atletico Madrid in 2019 for a fee of €126 million, does not want to leave European football in the first place.
Barcelona’s stance
SPORT ɾєρօɾτs thatBarcelonaare willing to present a proposal to Atletico Madrid to take Felix on loan.
The team from Catalonia is willing to pay his entire season’s salary, ɾєρօɾτed to be around €16 million, but then, they will not pay any fee for the loan.
The incorporation of an attacking reinforcement was not really contemplated byBarça. However, withOusmane Dembele moving to PSG, a gap has opened up in the department.
There is a growing sense of belief that although Felix toBarcelonais a complicated operation, he could arrive as a potential squad player as his current status at Atletico is extremely complex.
The player and his representatives know that he needs to leave this summer and that’s why they offered him toBarçaas soon as last season єɴԀed.
The situation was different back then but the demand has now risen and the good relations between Jorge MєɴԀes and Joan Laporta can make it happen.
