The recent ofrecimiento of the own Joao Félix to play in the FC Barcelona can be an element that unchain several negotiations between the Barcelona team and the Athletic of Madrid, two clubs that in the recent past have tried to understand of the best possible way to close signings between them. In fact, in this same 2023 agreed the arrival of Memphis to the Metropolitan, as well as the definite figure so that the colchoneros did again with Griezmann.
Like this the things, now 'Sport' has aimed that the rojiblancos have returned to his interest of does some weeks in Kessié and Ferrán Torres. With this in account, the culés could try do a big operation in three distinct signings, two sales for the Barcelona entity and an arrival, the one of Joao, that would reinforce the attack with a full footballer of a lot of talent, although certainly without too much regularity.
Without concrete contacts but with Jorge Mendes very attentive
The information details that, for now, Barça and Athletic keep that it has not produced contact any between clubs with regard to the Portuguese forward, although the agent of the luso, Jorge Mendes, himself that has spoken with both entities. The current stage has to the club colchonero wanting to sell of definite form to Joao, but there are not offers and a new cession could be the solution, and there the Barça could be the ideal destination.
Splitting of this base would seem ideal that the ones of Simeone could receive to Ferran Torres -yielded or sold- and to Kessié, footballer that seems to have the days explained in the Barça in front of the arrival of Oriol Romeu and Gündogan this week. Both players culés are very of the taste of the technician rojiblanco, but also is necessary to take into account that the Atleti hardly want to pay 20 or 25 million euros by each one.
Several possibilities to close the operation between Barça and Atleti
In an always hypothetical context, would seem ideal that Ferran and Joao went considered in a barter of conveyances with option to buy for the following summer, agreeing both clubs the index cards of both forwards and from there negotiate by Kessié. The marfileño wants to keep in the Barça or leave to the Premier League, but have the titularity ensured in the Metropolitan also could be a positive stage for him, at least for one or two seasons.
