Joao Felix has fallen out of favour at Atletico Madrid and has been linked with a move away from the club this summer. The Portuguese international also recently revealed his desire to play for FC Barcelona.
Barcelona are keen to sign Joao Felix this summer, but the Catalan outfit would have to do so while still staying within their financial limits. Meanwhile, they are also set to complete the signing of Joao Cancelo on loan from Manchester City.

With the summer transfer window of 2023 in its final stretch, it remains to be seen if Barcelona will be able to complete the signing of Joao Felix.

Barcelona, meanwhile, are unbeaten in La Liga this season, with the club currently sitting fourth in the points table. Xavi and co. have so far played three La Liga games in the current campaign and have two wins and a draw. Barcelona will take on Osasuna in a La Liga fixture in their next game. That game will kick off at 12:30 am Indian Standard Time on September 4th.
