Atlético paid him 127 million, look how much Barça must put in to keep Joao Félix

Joao Félix was one of the great movements that revolutionized the last transfer market in the current season. The Portuguese was the one who offered himself to Barcelona through a statement to journalist Fabrizio Romano. As Diego Simeone did not use him in any friendly match in the summer preparation, Xavi and Laporta decided to move forward with hiring him on loan for one year, although they are already working to make him stay longer.

It will not be easy at all to renew the loan of the player who belongs to Atlético Madrid, especially because the Catalan club does not have a healthy economy and will almost necessarily have to collect income through different sales both in January and July when a new market begins. The reality is that the mattress team also wants to receive benefits for Joao, who they paid 127 million and so far has added more disappointments than charms in the Spanish capital.

Atlético's situation is also similar to that of Barça and, therefore, they will look for a way to have income that allows them to breathe financially. The Blaugrana pays him a large part of the high salary he has at Atleti, but they want to discount part of the investment they made for the former Benfica at the time. According to the information provided by the Marca newspaper journalist, Luis Rojo, the culé team will have to pay 70 million to acquire the services of Joao Félix, although Barça will look for a way to have him without paying that amount.

Deco says that Joao will continue next season

Recently, Barcelona's current sporting director, Deco, stated in an interview with the RAC1 media that he will have not only Atleti's Joao but also Manchester City's, Cancelo. “We have Joao Félix and Cancelo for next season because they are very important for the squad”, commented the Barça manager. He has not yet revealed what the negotiation will be like, but Atleti want 70 million for his signing.
