'Bombshell' confirmed! Barça tried to sign Joao Félix

Joao Félix is one of the players to those who Joan Laporta would be loved to carry to the FC Barcelonto. In an interview with 'RAC1', the mandator did not hide his wishes by fichar to the Portuguese. "It likes me a lot of. His representative knows it. It is a big player, loves me. It is true that there was an opportunity to do an exchange with Antoine Griezmann. It tried , but the Athletic of Madrid does not want to give off of him. And it does well", it affirmed the president blaugrana.

The 'colchoneros' paid 127 'kilos' to the Benfica in the summer of 2019 by the luso, whose clause of rescission rises to 350 million euros. With agreement until June of 2026, the '7' is untransferable for the group directed by Diego Simeone, where this great season 8 goals and 6 assistances in 30 apparitions. The luso lives a big moment, having annotated in three of the last five parties of the 'rojiblancos' in LaLiga.

Although to Laporta would have loved him change to Griezmann by Joao, the true is that the French could consummate his traspaso definite to the Athletic in the next days. Antoine knows that it does not have place in the Barça and left yielded to the Madrilenian group by two seasons with option of compulsory purchase by 40 'kilos'. The managerial 'colchonera' would be had to close the operation in brief, which would represent a big relief for the culés.

During his interview with 'RAC1', Laporta was consulted on another traspaso pending in the club, the one of Adama Traoré. The Spanish will have to return to the Wolverhampton in June if the culés do not exert the option of purchase by 30 millions that the English club agreed after yielding him in January. The best alternative would be to consummate the ´barter' with Pedro Trincao, the one who finds yielded in the 'Wolves' until June.

"It is an option to consider. We are loved with Adama, has printed a spirit of maximum competitiveness. Trincao Is a big player, but does time that is not here. The change is very thought", affirmed Laporta. However, the final decision will be in hands of the Wolverhampton, club that, in principle, would not be had to remain with Trincao. The 40 millions that the Athletic deposit by Griezmann well could serve to amortise the purchase of Adama, but of here to June a lot of things can suceder.

Other options for the attack culé

One of the aims of the directive for the next market of passes is fichar a '9' and, in the last weeks, the name of Mohamed Salh and Robert Lewandowski have taken strength in the diary culé, mainly the one of the Pole. "They are big players. All the good footballers want to come to the Barça. I will not require at all of this. I do not want to put it difficult", puntualizó the president, leaving the open door to other signings for the summer.
