The future of João Felix remains uncertain, and the chances of strengthening Barcelona have faded in the last few hours. This is due to the fact that, contrary to the first information, Xavi is not very willing to accept the attacker.
The Barça manager wants to strengthen the midfield with a player who can move between the lanes and the inner zone and who has the last pass. Xavi sees Joao Felix as a striker without desirable characteristics.
Who fits like a glove into the outlined profile is Bernardo Silva. And here is the signing of the player from Man. City will only become possible after the sale of Raphinha for amounts exceeding 60 million euros. Aware of this difficulty, Jorge Mendes proposed Joao Felix to Joan Laporte, the president of Barcelona, who has been a fan of the Portuguese footballer for several years.
Felix’s move to Catalonia will be easier than Bernardo’s move, because only Ferran Torres has to do the opposite, that is, loan him to Atl. Madrid.
Benfica are closely following all these maneuvers in the hope of getting Felix on loan.
