Atlético opens up to a simple transfer of the player with a purchase option
The blaugrana club will only make the final movement if Abde or Ansu leave
All roads lead to Joao Félix. Barça has not yet made any move for the mattress attacker, but the Blaugrana club already has the information that Atlético de Madrid would give free rein to a loan with a purchase option on the Portuguese striker in a negotiation in which they would not agree. obstacles. Atlético’s objective is to get Joao Félix out of the way to solve the problem they have in the locker room and with their fans. The operation seems clear but Barça will only take the final step if they manage to get Lenglet and a striker out in the last days of the market.
The Joao Félix option is liked at the club and there is no longer so much technical reluctance for the striker’s arrival. Xavi knows that he needs a goal and the last pass in attack and the Portuguese could give it to him. The Blaugrana coach would prefer other options, but the facilities that all parties would provide to carry out this incorporation could end up tipping the balance. And Joao Félix is the first who has opted to dress as a blaugrana and the tab will be lowered for it.
At Barça there is no urgency. They are in permanent contact with his agent, Jorge Mendes, and they already know the conditions under which the footballer could be signed. They see it as a market opportunity, but they make it clear that there is an overbooking of strikers up top and, for now, the salary limit is too tight to think about the Portuguese. But at Barça they insist that it is more than likely that there will be an exit in offensive positions and the one chosen to correct it would be Joao Félix.
This week it is expected that Jorge Mendes will land in Barcelona once the signing of Joao Cancelo is completed. It will be at the end of the week and in that meeting the situation of Ansu Fati must also be clear. The Blaugrana club prefers that he be the striker who comes out before Abde, but the situation will not be forced. In the event that Ansu remains firm, the Moroccan will be the chosen one and in the event of a transfer there will be enough margin to register the transfer of Joao.
