The scenario involving striker João Félix promises to be one of the main topics of the next transfer window in Europe. A return to Atlético de Madrid is increasingly unlikely to happen and continuity in the Barcelona is far from confirmed. This Friday, Enrique Cerezo, president of Atlético, spoke about the situation of the Portuguese, loaned to Barcelona until the end of this season, and revealed that it is normal for him to want to stay in Catalonia.
“He is playing for Barcelona and it is normal that he wants to stay there. Barcelona also want him to stay, so we are all very happy. Furthermore, he will be lucky because Barcelona are keeping a great and magnificent player”, stated the president.

Cerezo wished the striker ‘all the luck in the world’ and said he doesn’t know how much Atlético wants to keep him. “João (Félix) is a magnificent player. He adapted very well to Barcelona, he is playing very well and what we wish him is all the luck in the world. I don’t know how much Atlético wants to keep him. It is necessary ask people in economics, I’m in the sports field.”
Félix, who has already admitted that he wants to stay at Barcelona, has played 35 games this season. During the period, the number 14 accumulated nine goals scored and six assists distributed.
Barcelona returns to the pitch next Wednesday (19), to face Paris Saint Germain for the first leg of the quarter-finals of Champions League. The ball rolls, at Parque dos Príncipes, starting at 4pm (Brasília time).
