Barcelona could reactivate interest in Portuguese international if Neymar does not arrive

Shortly after announcing Ousmane Dembele’s move to PSG, Barcelona might receive yet another blow as Neymar is reportedly close to moving to Saudi Arabia.

The Brazilian has received a lucrative offer from Al-Hilal, which is currently being considered by the PSG superstar.

Barcelona have been closely linked with a move to Neymar in recent weeks, but his potential move to Saudi could once again alter the club’s plans in the transfer market.

Barcelona to focus on Joao Felix

Barcelona are almost guaranteed to fail in their pursuit of Bernardo Silva, whereas Neymar could potentially join Al-Hilal in the coming days.

In light of these recent setbacks, Barcelona may reactivate their interest in the services of Joao Felix, reports Fabrizio Romano.

The Portuguese international was earlier an option for Barça, shortly after he strongly expressed his desire to play for the Blaugrana.

However, the Catalans had some problems negotiating with Atletico Madrid, whereas Xavi Hernandez was not too fond of the player either.

This eventually led to Barça shifting their focus to Bernardo Silva. But as the club close in on the capture of Joao Cancelo, they are unlikely to sign the former AS Monaco starlet.

But Romano suggests Barcelona are set to rekindle their pursuit of Felix, who is still available at Atletico Madrid.

If anything, the Rojiblancos have appeared willing to sanction a loan deal for Felix recently, after failing to find a permanent buyer for the Portuguese international.

This could prove to be an excellent opportunity for Barça to snap up the talented attacker, as he looks to take the next step in his career.

Although Felix might not be what Xavi was hoping for, the Portuguese international certainly has the potential to become a hit at Camp Nou.
