Joao Felix staying at FC Barcelona? The hint Atletico Madrid president gave fans

FC Barcelona has an idea of which players they will count on for next season. The Catalan club wants to continue building a solid team for years to come as their youth players from La Masia are starting to showcase their talents with the first team. Although the team is saving millions with the young talents that are starting to develop with FC Barcelona, the club still wants to secure new signings and keep loan players Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo. Joao Cancelo seems to be signed this summer on a permanent deal since Manchester City wants to sell him immediately. Joao Felix's situation is different since the player is very valuable to Atletico Madrid, and the club doesn't want to sell Felix for anything lower than $90 million this summer. FC Barcelona is working on signing him on another loan deal, but perhaps Atletico might consider selling him for an easier price for Barca to pay.

Joao Felix recently said that he wishes to stay at FC Barcelona next season, but it might not be due to his contract with Atletico Madrid. Joao Felix said, "I’d be happy to stay and continue at Barça, but it doesn’t depend on me. Let’s see what happens next year, I’d love to play at Camp Nou. We will see what’s needed to stay at Barça."

While Joao Felix, Atletico Madrid, and FC Barcelona are negotiating to agree on a potential deal to keep the Portuguese, the president of Atletico Madrid, Enrique Cerezo, spoke about the player and said he was happy to see him succeed. Cerezo then hints at what the future for Joao Felix could be, and it excites Barcelona fans.
