Joao Felix To Move to Saudi Arabia If Barcelona Transfer Fails: Report

Joao Felix is likely to be the subject of much transfer speculation in the coming days, as he is no longer in the plans of Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone. A move away from the club seems increasingly likely.

Barcelona has expressed an interest in signing Joao Felix on loan, but the deal is not yet close to being finalized. Head coach Xavi Hernandez and sporting director Deco are both hesitant about the move, as they have doubts about whether Felix would be a good fit for the club.

Barcelona may still make a move for Joao Felix in the coming days, but Atletico Madrid are not under any obligation to accept a lower price than they are asking for. This could be a problem for Barcelona, as they are facing financial difficulties.

🚨| João Félix will move to Saudi Arabia on September 4 or 5, if his move to Barcelona does not happen. 🇵🇹🇸🇦
