“Watch out, this is going to be a concern,” one fan remarked about Joao Felix’s outstanding performance for Barcelona.
“Buying Felix from Atletico Madrid is gonna be a problem if he keeps balling like this,” Barca fan and Reddit user TuinhekFC wrote during Blaugrana’s 5-0 win against Real Betis.
Indeed, the more Joao Felix scores and performs, the higher Atletico’s asking price will be next summer.
At the same time, it is important to realize that the Portuguese clearly feels much happier at Barca than at Atletico – this factor could be crucial in the latter’s decision to sell him for a relatively low fee.
Joao Felix’s current deal with Blaugrana expires only in 2029. A few days ago, Atletico’s president, Enrique Cerezo, told the media that he believes in the 23-year-old’s potential and reminded everyone that he belongs to Atletico.
