Many press reports indicated the possibility of an exciting exchange deal between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid next summer.
Spanish press reports revealed that Portuguese agent Jorge Mendes is working on a plan for a swap deal between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid that includes the continued loan of Joao Felix to Barcelona in exchange for the departure of Ansu Fati to Atletico Madrid.
According to the Spanish network Relivo, Jorge Mendes is seeking to conclude a swap deal between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, despite its difficulty.
The Spanish network confirmed that this deal seems difficult due to Simeone’s lack of interest in Fati, in addition to the fact that Felix’s value is higher, but Mendes will try to reach a satisfactory agreement.
The Spanish newspaper indicated that Felix seems to be very comfortable in Barcelona and has no desire to reunite with Simeone at Atletico Madrid, so renewing the loan to Barcelona seems to be the most logical thing.
The Spanish newspaper explained that if there are financial problems for Barcelona in renewing Felix’s loan, the solution that Mendes has for this problem is to bring Ansu Fati on loan also to Atletico Madrid.
It is noteworthy that although Ansu Fati, the young Barcelona star, is not among the preferred options of Simeone’s technical staff, he is a high-level football player who also solves a major problem in Atletico Madrid.
