The FC Barcelona board is advancing in planning for 2024/25. One of the pending 'soap operas' for the summer has to do with the Joaos, for which Joan Laporta and Jorge Mendes, agent of the Portuguese players, are already working on their cases
The FC Barcelona goes defining his leaf of route of face to the next market estival. In addition to the imperiosa need of fichar a trainer, the directive has several pending cases for resolving in his staff, being the future of Joao Cancel and Joao Félix two of the most complex subjects of face to the summer. So much the defender like the mediapunta have the seen well of Joan Laporta, by which the mandator sustained a first 'summit' this Tuesday with Jorge Mendes to try advance in the operations.
The agent luso, key factor in the arrival of the Joaos to Catalonia the past summer, has clear that both footballers, for now, prioritise to remain in the Barça, further of the restlessness that generates the change of trainer. However, the complex financial situation culé narrow the margin to negotiate with Manchester City and Athletic of Madrid, respectively, being the negotiation with the group 'colchonero' the most difficult for the Barcelona interests.
I cancel it advances to Félix in his options to be still in the Barça
Although so much Pep Guardiola like Diego Simeone have descartado to the Joaos of face to the 24/25, City and Atleti prioritise to do box with both to free mass salarial and reinvertir it ingresado by his traspasos in new reinforcements. The sale of the side is priced in some 50 million euros, but the Barça would be had to put on the table a maximum of 20 'kilos' by the one of Barreiro. By his part, Félix hardly will go out of Madrid by less than 60M€, although the offer culé higher hardly surpass the €40m.
In this sense, the one of Viseo seems to be in disadvantage in front of his compatriot regarding options to remain in Barcelona. The '2' sum already 2.335 minutes of action in 30 parties this season (3 goals and 4 assistances), being a fixed in the diagram of Xavi Hernández so much by right as by left, this last position forced by the injury of Alejandro Balde. Instead, the '14' has lost leadership in the second half of temporadto, with a total of 1.706 minutes in 31 parties (8 goals and 5 assistances), but grieve a bunch of titularities in what it goes of year.
Laporta And Mendes also tackled the 'case Balde'
In accordance with the information filtered by 'SPORT', in the meeting between Laporta and Mendes also touched the case of Balde. The left-handed side follows having alternative interesting to leave to England in summer in spite of his injury in the sinew of the biceps femoral of the right leg that forced him to lose the rest of season. Thus, further of the value of his clause (1.000 'kilos'), the Barça no descartaría his exit if it arrives a high offer between July and August.
