FC Barcelona ready to sacrifice this player to sign Joao Felix this summer

FC Barcelona wants to keep the majority of the players this season, including the loan players. Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo have become fan favorites and are impressing the Barcelona board. The two Portuguese players are currently providing crucial performances for the team, and their respective clubs want to sell them this summer. With FC Barcelona's current financial situation, it will be difficult for the Catalan club to sign them on a permanent deal. The club is working on new loan deals for both players so they can continue next season. Joao Cancelo's situation seems more favorable for FC Barcelona since Manchester City wants to sell him as soon as possible, but Joao Felix's situation seems very difficult. Barcelona now plans to sacrifice a player in order to sign Felix permanently.

Joao Felix's main club, Atletico Madrid, wants a high fee for the player as they want the Portuguese winger sold as soon as possible. Felix mentioned his desire to stay longer at FC Barcelona, and the situation between him and Atletico Madrid seemed to get sour. Now, since FC Barcelona insists on signing Felix, the club may offer a player to Atletico Madrid to make the permanent deal for Felix happen.

Relevo reports that Jorge Mendes is attempting to extend Joao Felix's loan at Barcelona and also to loan Ansu Fati to Atletico Madrid since the Catalan club cannot afford to sign him permanently. Another solution could be swapping them permanently, but this isn't easy as Felix's valuation is much higher than Fati's. That's why names like Iñigo Martínez have emerged in recent weeks to try to make the operation feasible. Atlético Madrid wants to sell Felix and prioritize making money over loaning him out, which complicates the deal.
