Reports suggests that, Atletico Madrid has agreed to facilitate Joao Felix's much-desired move to Barcelona.

Back in December 2022, Barcelona came close to securing the Portuguese winger on loan, but Atletico withdrew from the deal and opted for Chelsea instead.

However, the current situation suggests a potential change, as AS reports that Atletico has given the green light for Felix to join their arch-rivals, Barcelona.

It is likely that any agreement will include a purchase option, granting Barcelona the opportunity to sign Felix permanently once the loan spell concludes.

In a recent interview with Fabrizio Romano, Felix admitted that he would "love to play for Barca" and the Liga champions have always been his "first choice" as it was his "dream" to don their jersey since he was a child.

Barca president Joan Laporta would love to welcome him at Camp Nou and they have already crunched the numbers that would take them to execute the operation, keeping in mind their fragile economic condition.

Felix has struggled to find his feet under Diego Simeone and has netted just 34 times in 131 appearances for Atletico.

His loan spell with Chelsea saw him score four goals in 20 Premier League appearances and has been linked with a permanent move away from the Wanda Metropolitano, with Barcelona now emerging as the favourites for his signature.

Atletico and Barcelona are figuring out the details of the transfer and Felix will hope to finalise a transfer to Camp Nou before the start of the new season.
