Barca are willing to keep Felix if the financial conditions are right for them and have received assurances this will be the case.<\/p>\n<p>Atletico had been hoping to either sell Felix or attach a purchase clause worth \u20ac75m into another loan following his fine start to life at Barcelona, but his form has slowed in recent months and it will be harder to shift him on a permanent basis immediately. Barca do not want to agree to a purchase clause worth more than \u20ac40m for Felix.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/01hretvx9krzsmrvh7yk.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Diego Pablo Simeone\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Felix fell out with Simeone \/ Juan Manuel Serrano Arce\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<p>After a falling out with manager Diego Simeone, Atletico have been clear Felix will not play for them again, which could put them at a disadvantage in negotiations to shift him.<\/p>\n<p>Barcelona\u00a0do not intend to pay for Felix this summer due to his declining performances and their lack of room for manoeuvre in the\u00a0transfer\u00a0market. The Portugal forward could receive an offer from the Saudi Pro League this summer but his preference is to remain in Catalonia.<\/p>\n<p>Felix is also optimistic he can impress Barcelona\u2019s new manager, with current boss Xavi standing down from his role at the end of the season.\u00a0Xavi\u00a0did not view Felix as a priority signing but the club have been determined to keep him regardless.<\/p>\n<p>Barcelona\u2019s hope is\u00a0Felix\u00a0stays on loan for another season and they can sign him on a cut-price deal in 2025.
