BOMB! Barça asks Atlético to Joao Félix on loan

"There is not any option that Joao go out. Has to adapt . The day that hit his takeoff will be one of the most important in the planet football. The players are not machines, have good and bad days. It will give a lot of afternoons of glory in this club". These words of Enrique Cerezo, president of the Athletic of Madrid, recently more than three months seemed descartar completely the hypothetical arrival of Joao Félix to the FC Barcelona​.

However, it seems that in the Barça anybody has forgotten of the Portuguese and as 'RAC1' Joan Laporta would have done a last attempt to incorporate to the Portuguese this same summer. It seems that the group barcelonista would have called to the Atleti this past Monday to ask the cession of the luso without option of purchase. The culés expect that from Wanda Metropolitan answer to this application before the closing of the market this 31 August.

In principle, except surprise of last hour, the colchoneros do not contemplate the exit of the jewel of his crown this summer. The club always has left clear that it has to be the player on which build the project of the Cholo Simeone and that will not negotiate by him. The words of the president were clear and therefore it is little comprehensible that the blaugrana create to have options to carry it yielded.

The Athletic paid more than 120 million euros by him, by what give off 'free' of him for 'give it' during all a year to the Barcelona, one of his big rivals to win LaLiga, would be a decision more than controversial. From several sources indicates that there are not options that Joao go out this 31 August, by what this application of the Catalans could remain in at all.

Besides, it is necessary to take into account the wishes of the own footballer, that before the summer confirmed that it does not have plans of mudanza and that wants to remain in Wanda this course that comes. "It was doing a good season, afterwards happened things, but am here, am engaged with the club, am happy here and want to follow to do good seasons and win more titles", indicated does some months.

Attempt desperately of the Barça

In the Barça is looking for a forward and seems that it has tried apurar the options that it was Joao. The Portuguese is intocable for his club, but no for his trainer, for which is not headline. Thus, the Barcelona have looked for presionar to the athletic through the surroundings of the footballer. Jorge Mendes is his agent and has a big relation with Laporta that the president has wanted to take advantage of. However, it seems that this will be impossible and that the ex of the Benfica will be still in Madrid.
