What will the future of the 23-year-old Portuguese be made of? Sent to the Chelsea Blues on loan in January 2023, the striker did not really do well in England where, expelled in his first match, the former Benfica player quickly became disillusioned. Already on a semi-recognition of failure with the Colchoneros, the international, who has 31 selections with the Seleção, must relaunch his career, and this could go through a departure.
In a recent interview, the president of the 3rd of La Liga, Enrique Cerezo, opened the door to a transfer, confident that in the event of a good offer, João Felix would not be retained during this summer transfer window. From now on, it is therefore up to the player and his entourage to find a way out, if possible prestigious. Asked by Recordthe Lusitano brother said he wanted a return to Benfica, without this proposal appearing in the European press as proven information.
From Atlético Madrid to another La Liga club?
Quoted on the side of Paris Saint-Germain, the offensive was rejected by the management of the Ile-de-France club, which has no intention of securing its services. That’s good, the player recruited 127 million euros by the Blues wants a completely different club. In an interview with journalist Fabrizio Romano, João Felix declared his love for a La Liga team: “I would love to play for Barca. Barcelona has always been my first choice and I would like to join Barça. It’s always been my dream since I was a kid. If that happens, it will be a dream come true for me”.
It remains to be seen whether the Catalan club, which has recruited the Brazilian Vitor Roque (18) in attack, is interested in the prospect of signing the former number 7 of Atlético Madrid, today without a fixed shirt number.
