Barcelona fans seem to waste 30 million euros (about 44.6 billion won) for João Félix.
“Felix has not played even a minute in Portugal’s two Euro matches. Nevertheless, Barcelona plans to loan Felix for another season. Fans reacted negatively, saying, “Felix is an outdated player. 30 million euros is a waste.”
Felix left Benfica to join Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2019. At the time, Atletico were looking for a replacement for Antoine Griezmann, so they hired Felix, who was playing well in Portugal, for 127 million euros (W188.8 billion).
Up until the 2021-22 season, Felix had not taken a bad step forward. He steadily gained opportunities to play, solidifying his position. However, the atmosphere in the first half of last season was unusual. Felix played in 12 matches in Spain’s La Liga before the 2022 World Cup break in Qatar, but only started five times. Rumors were raised that he would have a disagreement with Diego Simeone as the coach between the starting pitcher and the replacement.
As a result, he moved to Chelsea in January through a transfer window. In the second half of the year, Felix scored four goals in 16 matches in the English Premier League, adding to his offense. However, Chelsea finished the season 12th in the league, regrettably. And while preparing for the season under new coach Mauricio Pochettino, Felix ended his loan contract.
Felix is under contract with Atletico until the summer of 2027. However, his chances of separation have increased day by day. Felix gave up his number seven to Antoine Griezmann.
In addition, he made a bombshell announcement. In mid-July, Felix insisted, “Barcelona has always been my first choice. I want to join Barcelona. It has been a dream since childhood, and if it comes true, it is literally a dream come true.”토토사이트 추천
In the end, he decided to go to Barcelona as he wanted. Felix, who joined Barcelona on loan, played in 30 La Liga matches this season. He started 18 times. Although he was not a regular starter, he garnered seven goals and three assists, showing good performance.
For now, Felix must complete his loan agreement and return to Atletico. His contract with Atletico will last until 2029. Barcelona will re-lease Felix because it is not financially comfortable.
