- Barca to complete double loan swoop
- Cancelo arrives from Man City
- Felix breaks free from Atletico struggles
WHAT HAPPENED? Felix was confirmed as a Barca player on Friday, with the forward arriving on loan from Atletico Madrid. Cancelo was unveiled soon after following a tumultuous period at Manchester City. He is also joining on a season-long loan.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: It is understood that neither loan deal includes an obligation to buy clause. Felix will be relieved that his Atletico Madrid nightmare is over, with a high-profile falling out with Diego Simeone leading to him training with the youth team earlier in the summer. In July, he publicly stated his desire to complete a "dream" move to the Camp Nou - and he's now got his wish.
AND WHAT'S MORE: Cancelo has endured a rocky period recently too. After his relationship with City boss Pep Guardiola deteriorated, he was shipped out to Bayern Munich on loan where he struggled to nail down a first-team place under Thomas Tuchel. He will be aiming to get back to his best in Catalunya.

WHAT NEXT? The pair will be in attendance when Barcelona take on Osasuna on Sunday.
