Impressive with FC Barcelona while he is on loan from Atlético de Madrid this season, Joao Félix could cost the Blaugranas a little dearly next summer…
Not recruited by Chelsea last summer (after 4 goals in 20 matches in all competitions) then completely dismissed at Atlético de Madrid during the preseason, Joao Félix was loaned at the end of the transfer window to FC Barcelona. The Portuguese striker, 24, is back with the Blaugranas, where his enthusiasm and technique are good for Xavi’s team, who are fond of a possession game in the opposing camp. He has 5 goals and 3 assists in 17 games.
After the decisive goal scored by Joao Félix against these same Colchoneros (1-0), last Sunday, the Catalan leaders are considering the possible recruitment of this prodigy on loan without a purchase option. Atléti completely collapsed by giving 130 million euros to Benfica in 2019 and will never be able to recoup its costs.
Disappointing for several seasons, Joao Félix saw his market value drop to 50 million euros on Transfermarkt. The CIES Football Observatory, for its part, estimates the striker at 80 million. If Atlético wants to get rid of the Viseu native, they will have to make a big financial effort. Especially since the FCB would not plan to pay more than 25 million for the player, as indicated by José Alvarez ofEl Chiringuito.
