Transfer: Atletico Madrid’s Joao Felix picks next club to join after Chelsea loan

Atletico Madrid forward, Joao Felix wants to join La Liga champions Barcelona this summer, according to transfer guru, Fabrizio Romano.

Felix had hoped to remain at Chelsea beyond this summer following his loan spell at Stamford Bridge last campaign.

Chelsea decided not to sign the Portugal international after he struggled to make an impact in the Premier League.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano said: “Now it is really important to mention that Joao Felix, in a direct conversation I just had a few minutes ago, told me: ‘I want to go to Barcelona’.

“Joao Felix told me this very clear statement, he added that Barcelona is the biggest dream of his life since he was a kid and it is his first choice on the market.

“A very clear message from Joao Felix and a very clear intention to join Barcelona.”
