Every Sports: Félix Awaits Barcelona’s Recall, Atlético Looking to Sell Him to Aston Villa

According to Every Sports, João Félix is still waiting for a recall from Barcelona.

Last season, Félix joined Barcelona on loan but failed to make a convincing impact and was eventually returned by the Catalan club. Currently, Barcelona are pursuing Olmo and Nico Williams, and they will only consider bringing Félix back to Camp Nou if they fail to secure these two targets.

In fact, Atlético Madrid hope that Félix can transfer to Aston Villa this summer, but the player has decided to wait for Barcelona. It is understood that when Félix’s loan period with Barcelona ended, the club promised him that they would try their best to re-sign him. As time passed, the situation cooled down, but the two sides never cut off contact. Deco and Flick both believe that Félix can once again become an important player in Barcelona’s squad.

In recent weeks, Benfica approached Félix, but he did not show much enthusiasm for returning to Portuguese football. Currently, due to their inability to pay the transfer fee, Benfica has closed the door on Félix’s return, while Aston Villa is attempting to bring him in on a loan plus mandatory purchase deal. However, Félix remains unmoved, hoping to return to Barcelona no matter what and firmly believing that time is on his side.

At present, Barcelona have not taken any action, even though they know that a loan agreement could be reached. Atlético are interested in a loan swap, with players like Iñigo Martínez, Ferran Torres, or Vitor Roque potentially piquing their interest. The main issue is convincing the players to move, and Barcelona must go all out to pursue Félix.
