Barcelona technical staff assume that €50 million-rated forward will join this summer

While Barcelona appeared to have finalised the deal to sign Joao Cancelo on a loan deal, the club have their work cut out in the transfer market.

With Ansu Fati reportedly closing in on a shocking exit, Barcelona could reinforce their ranks in the attacking unit.

Joao Felix has been an option for some time, but the deal has not been able to advance due to the club’s financial situation.

Barcelona’s technical staff hopeful of signing Felix

According to Gerard Romero, a good part of Barcelona’s technical staff is already assuming that Joao Felix will arrive in Catalonia by the end of the month.

The potential departure of Fati could open the doors for the Portuguese international, whose market value stands at €50 million.

Felix, for his part, is determined to join Barcelona and has been holding out for a move to Camp Nou throughout the summer so far.

But with time running out, Barcelona must act swiftly if they are to end up signing the Portuguese international this summer.

Ansu Fati’s departure to be crucial

It must be noted that Barcelona could be in a position to go after Felix if they can sanction the exit of one of their forwards.

Abde Ezzalzouli was seen as a candidate who may leave the club this summer, but it appears the Moroccan international could end up staying.

But to Barcelona’s fortunes, Ansu Fati has become a hot topic in the market recently and there is a good chance he may leave the club by the end of the month.

Tottenham and Chelsea have emerged as potential suitors for the struggling attacker, who is ready to listen to offers.

Fati’s sale could ensure the signing of Felix, although negotiations with Atletico Madrid prove to be a challenge.
