Barcelona to use 'Antoine Griezmann tactic' in bid to land Joao Felix permanently from Atletico Madrid

<p>Barcelona are hoping to sign Felix permanently despite the Portuguese player's patchy performances for the Blaugrana this season. Atletico Madrid reportedly want between €70 and €80 million (£60-68m/$75m-86m) for Felix, which is far more than Barcelona can afford. <a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/videos/baloncesto/20231113/1002105569/asi-sido-paso-roger-grimau-confesionario-2-0-antoni-daimiel.html" target="_blank">According to Mundo Deportivo</a>, the Catalan side plan to make an offer of €30–40m (£25m-45m/$32m-43m). Should the Rojiblancos reject it, they will try to secure Felix on loan for a second season.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are eager to finalise a deal in order to prevent another summer drama. Fearing that a flurry of goals between now and the conclusion of the season will offer Los Colchoneros a stronger negotiation position and raise interest in the Portuguese, the Blaugrana are prepared to negotiate Felix's move or loan as early as January.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Barcelona's approach is similar to Atletico's when they re-signed Griezmann. Both parties understand how unlikely it is for Felix to return to the former team, especially in <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/barcelona-joao-felix-explains-iconic-jude-bellingham-celebration-goal-atletico-madrid/blt0cf3da9cf63942f2" target="_blank">light of his celebrations against Atletico</a> last weekend. Barca will aim to drive the price down, knowing Felix wants to stay and that he will not be particularly welcome back at Atletico.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Felix will be in action when Barcelona take on second-placed Girona on Sunday, December 10 as Xavi's side look to close the four-point gap on their local rivals.</p>
