Speculation Swirls as Joao Felix’s Celebration Fuels Rumors of Real Madrid Interest

In the aftermath of Joao Felix’s celebration during Barcelona’s triumph against Atletico Madrid, journalist Tomás Roncero from Cadena SER suggests that it may be a subtle hint of the player’s desire to join Real Madrid next summer. Roncero asserts that Felix’s dream has always been to play for Real Madrid, emphasizing his past statements to his agent, Jorge Mendes, about wanting to be close to the Bernabeu.

The journalist speculates that Felix’s celebratory gestures are attempts to draw attention from Real Madrid, noting a perceived connection to Bellingham’s similar celebration in El Clasico. However, Felix’s previous expressions of admiration for Barcelona, especially before his loan signing, and his revelation that the celebration stemmed from a challenging summer at Atletico cast doubt on the theory.

While football is unpredictable, the likelihood of Felix making a switch to Real Madrid seems questionable, especially with their ongoing pursuit of Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius playing in Felix’s preferred left-wing position.
