FC Barcelona could make a bold move to bring Joao Felix back to the club on loan for the 2024/25 season.
The Catalans have reached an agreement with Atlético Madrid for a season-long loan in the final days of the summer transfer window. The Portugal international has impressed with his performances in Catalonia and the 24-year-old is eager to make his mark at Barcelona. He also scored the goal in the 1-0 victory against the Rojblancos.
There have been conflicting reports of a division within the club over the long-term plans for Felix, with both positive and unconvincing views on his overall progress. Atlético are ready to sell Felix to FC Barcelona at the end of the season, but they will not be able to increase the asking price of 80 million euros.
According to the latest information from Diario Sport, Atlético could negotiate a compromise for a new loan for the 2024/25 season, with a compulsory purchase option at the end of the season. The final price should be lower than that requested by FC Barcelona, who could demand an amount closer to 60 million euros.
