Barcelona

Atletico Madrid

The Portugal international forward went chasing his “dream” during the summer transfer window when <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/did-joao-felix-want-lionel-messi-no10-shirt-barcelona-choice-jersey-explained/bltcae4d38f97865b1c" target="_blank">completing an initial loan switch</a> to Camp Nou. He has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/barcelona-player-ratings-real-betis-joao-felix-joao-cancelo/blt9cfaee3a6fe4b108" target="_blank">settled quickly in Catalunya</a>, with the talented 23-year-old registering three goals and as many assists for Barca through eight appearances.

WHAT HAPPENED?

He had <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/joao-felix-offered-to-man-utd-man-city-securing-barcelona-move-paulo-futre/blt78d0f30d059d7c3f" target="_blank">spent the second-half of last season on loan at Chelsea</a>, with the Premier League side picking up all of his €289,000-a-week salary. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/joao-felix-serious-pay-cut-barcelona-transfer-atletico-madrid-permanent-move/blt5a7e3dc7aee934da" target="_blank">Barcelona are paying nowhere near that amount</a>, with it revealed that Felix is earning just €7,700-a-week with the reigning La Liga champions.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Romeu has told <a href="https://www.lesportiudecatalunya.cat/barca/article/2342674-hem-posat-el-tap-al-desguas.html " target="_blank">L’Esportiu</a>: "It’s true, Joao Felix has reduced his salary to €400,000 to join. It is the case of a person who has made a very important effort to join. It's very nice to see this from a guy who was probably not at his best at his club, but here he has been magnificent. Make no mistake about it, however, the club that gave Felix to us has an interest in this being a great showcase. Hopefully, at the end of the year, we will have the conflict of having to consider his continuity."

WHAT THEY SAID

Barca’s deal for Felix includes no purchase option, meaning that they will need to negotiate any permanent transfer with Atletico. It is reported that the Rojiblancos will be <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/atletico-madrid-barcelona-Joao-felix-transfer-price/bltf92713e011fa3e66" target="_blank">demanding around €80 million (£69m/$85m)</a> for a player that cost them €126m (£109m/$134m) when he moved to Spain from Benfica in 2019.
