Joo Félix expressed interest in playing for Barcelona.
Joo Félix made his triumphant return to Atlético de Madrid training on July 10. The Portuguese midfielder left behind a frustrating loan at Chelsea and appeared to be the Colchonero's most crucial attacking card for the UEFA Champions League next season, but the truce with Diego Simeone lasted only eight days owing to striking statements indicating a probable exit in this market.
He admitted his plans to Fabrizio Romano, a transfer market specialist journalist, and an old, long-standing interest on the part of the previous Spanish champion resurfaced: "I would love to play for Barcelona." The Blaugrana tried to sign him several times and even gave him a contract.While they will continue to communicate with him in order to ascertain his position and assess the possibility of imposing a sanction for speaking without the club's permission, the 23-year-old's entourage will seek to specify his arrival in Catalonia through a loan with a purchase option, a mode that Atleti has not yet planned for the time being and places its price at more than USD 110 million. This value is given because they spent more than USD 142 million on their arrival from Benfica in 2019, making them the fifth most expensive transfer in history, trailing only Neymar and Kylian Mbappé to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), and followed by Phillippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele to Barcelona.
In 131 games, he had 34 goals and 18 assists.Four months later, he went to Chelsea on a semester loan with a charge of almost USD 12,000,000 and no buy option. After scoring four goals in 20 games, he left for Spain because retaining him was not a priority for new coach Mauricio Pochettino. Before joining the Blues, he signed a contract extension until June 30, 2027, and Diego Simeone mentioned his condition a little less than a month ago.

"Joo is an Atlético de Madrid player who, if he does not get a spot at Chelsea, as Pochettino reportedly stated, will have to come to Atlético de Madrid, he will have to come to Atlético de Madrid, he will have to come to Atlético de Madrid, he will have to come to Atléti
