The summer transfer market is already starting to move, and as usual, Jorge Mendes is once again one of the most active agents for Barça. In his attempt to find a place for several of his clients, the Portuguese has once again offered one of his players to FC Barcelona, considering the fluid relationship between the parties. However, this time, as in previous instances, the club's response has been blunt.
Barça's sports management, led by Deco and closely supervised by Hansi Flick, has clear ideas about the type of profiles they are looking for in the first team. In this scenario, there is no room for players who may generate more uncertainties than solutions, no matter how much they are endorsed by prominent figures in the elite. Therefore, at FC Barcelona, they are clear: they don't want him back under any circumstances.
Closed Chapter
According to the latest information circulating around the club, the player in question is João Félix, who has already been at Barça. The Portuguese talent joined the Catalan team on loan last season and, although he showed flashes of quality, his lack of consistency ultimately condemned him to ostracism. For Flick, his incorporation would be a strategic mistake that Barça can't afford, considering he already had the opportunity with the Catalan jersey.
Not even the possibility of bringing him for free, with Chelsea willing to cover a large part of his salary, has changed the German coach's opinion. Flick believes that João Félix doesn't fit into his project, both in terms of his abilities and his attitudes. The Portuguese, at 25 years old, still hasn't found stability in the elite and accumulates difficulties in the teams he passes through.
Uncertain Future
With Barça's doors completely closed, João Félix will have to look for a new destination this summer. Not even Jorge Mendes's advantageous offer has managed to change the firm stance of the Catalan entity. It is evident that handling João Félix's situation is not easy.
His status in the elite has declined, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for his entourage to find him a club willing to strongly bet on his talent. At Barça, despite Joan Laporta and Deco defending his continuity at the time, the facts have ultimately proven Hansi Flick right. The German coach has managed to recover the best level of several important players in the squad, but he doesn't consider João Félix to be salvageable.
