In distress with Atlético de Madrid, Joao Felix pushed hard this summer to join FC Barcelona in order to get a breath of fresh air and relaunch a stalled career. In the final moments of the summer transfer window, the Portuguese international won his case and made a promising start to the season (3 goals and 3 assists in 14 appearances, including 12 starts in all competitions). While the former Benfica striker is currently playing the international break with Portugal, his future has been discussed by its former president, Enrique Cerezo. During an interview given to “The COPE Party”the Colchoneros boss did not rule out a return for the Portuguese at the end of his loan, visibly aware of his renewed form.
“He is going to be one of the best players in Europe. I wish him good luck at Barcelona. I don’t know if he’ll come back. He has a one-year contract and Barça will have an option to buy. If this is not the case, he will have to return to Atlético de Madrid.declared the Spanish leader before returning to his delicate period in Madrid. “I don’t know. Players are not machines. It doesn’t matter if he has a great season or not. You have to take a risk and buy. Maybe because of the game system, it didn’t adapt to us. But in Barcelona, from what I see, he plays very well.he finally concluded.
