Since the transfer of Joao Felix to the Barcelona, the Catalan team is aware of the conditions to acquire the winger’s services. In this context, in the organization chaired by Joan Laporta it is no secret that, given the current financial difficulties, it will be extremely challenging to meet the terms established for the transfer of the footballer. However, they have expressed their commitment to working on proposals that allow the Portuguese to remain in the Barça squad.
Atlético de Madrid has informed the culés that Joao’s asking price for next season would be 80 million euros. According to sources close to the operation, recorded by SPORT, this figure would have been officially documented. Given that it is widely known that the Blaugranas do not have the capacity to pay this sum immediately, the ‘colchoneros’ would accept a payment in installments.

Those in the capital would be willing to divide the compensation into three installments of approximately more than 25 million euros each. This would make the operation more viable, although Barcelona does not consider it appropriate to spend 80 million euros on the Portuguese athlete either.
So far, always with information from the aforementioned media, the most viable option if Félix continues to maintain good performance is for Barça to seek to agree on a new loan with ‘Atleti’. The club believes that next summer it will continue to face financial restrictions, but shows greater optimism regarding July 2025.
A new loan period would imply that Madrid would continue to amortize the player’s price for another year, which would result in a significantly lower cost by 2025. For this option to be feasible, it would be necessary to establish a loan that includes a purchase option with a more realistic price at that time, which could be around 40 million euros.

How much does the Portuguese striker earn?
Joao Félix now earns four million euros, a figure that coincides with what LaLiga records as his salary and that does not negatively affect Barcelona’s Financial Fair Play. It is important to note that this figure is even less than the approximately eight million euros that the Portuguese earned as an Atlético de Madrid player.
What is coming to FC Barcelona
After drawing 2-2 against Granada, in the local league, FC Barcelona will have to focus on its next challenge.
