After having signed the RB Leipzig forward Dani Olmo, FC Barcelona are now fully focused on completing the signing of Nico Williams from Athletic Club. There have been some developments unfavorable towards the Catalan club in this operation, but they are still optimistic that they can pull off this signing.
Meanwhile, another forward who spent the last season on loan at Barcelona and is again looking to play for the Blaugranes, Joao Felix, is still looking for a team this summer, as it is highly unlikely that he will play for Atletico Madrid for the next season.
Barcelona have Felix quite low in their priority order but have not completely ruled out his signing. However, they will sign him on loan only if the terms are reasonable.
Meanwhile, the latest news on the Portuguese international from SPORT claims that the Portuguese international and his agent, Jorge Mendes, have already traveled to London to negotiate a potential transfer to Chelsea.
Chelsea and Atletico Madrid are engaged in several operations, and one of the moves they are currently in talks for is Connor Gallagher. Felix can become a part of this deal. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid are also looking to sell a player to recover their finances after signing Julián Álvarez.
Previously, Atletico Madrid were looking forward to completing another deal with Chelsea, for the forward Samu Omoridion, but the Premier League side has tracked back in this operation recently.
Felix has already played for Chelsea, as he joined the Blues on a loan back in the winter of 2022-23. The Portuguese had an inconsistent stint during that time, as he made some exciting cameos mixed with some other unnoticeable performances.
Ultimately, Chelsea had decided not to fight for a permanent transfer of the player, and Felix joined Barcelona after returning from London. Now, he is once again looking for a way out from Atletico Madrid, and it remains to be seen how his future will pan out this summer.
