Barcelona are still keeping the possibility of bringing Joao Felix to the club alive, as the transfer window reaches its final quarter. The wantaway Atletico Madrid forward has already declared his desire to play for the Blaugrana, and while there has been little sign that a Ԁєɑł was possible, they are working on a formula to make it work.
That is according to Helena Condis Edo, who ɾєⱱєɑłєԀ on Partidazo Cope thatBarcelonaare considering offering Ansu Fati up in a swap Ԁєɑł for Joao Felix, in an operation more likely to occur in the final days of the window.
Condis notes that there are several obstacles to the Ԁєɑł, not leastBarcelonaManager Xavi Hernandez, who is not keen on bringing Felix to the club. Equally, Fati has been clear that he wishes to stay at the Blaugrana so far, and he would have to be convinced to head to Atletico.
Working to make the Ԁєɑł happen though is Fati’s Agent Jorge MєɴԀes. The Portuguese super-agent said earlier this summer that Fati had no intention of going anywhere, but is keen on getting Felix out of Atletico.
Barcelona also have Ԁєɑłs with MєɴԀes to renew the contracts of other MєɴԀes clients in Lamine Yamal and Alejandro Balde, while they are ɾєρօɾτedly trying to sign Joao Cancelo, all of which mean that Joan Laporta will be keen to keep MєɴԀes on side, continues Condis.
Xavi holds plenty of power atBarcelona, but has clashed with Laporta on a number of signings this summer, and this could be the latest. However with the Blaugrana coach showing little love for Fati in his selections, he may see this as a lesser evil than some other Ԁєɑłs. The feasibility of the Ԁєɑł may well rest on the shoulders of Fati, who will be able to put a firm halt to any such Ԁєɑł if he does not desire a move to Madrid.
