Barcelona planning to use “Antoine Griezmann formula” to keep João Félix next summer

Barcelona have made it publicly clear that they intend to keep João Félix at the club beyond this season and will do whatever it takes — within their very strict financial possibilities — to sign the Portugal international on a permanent deal after a very strong start to his loan campaign, with the highlight so far being his game-winning goal against his parent club, Atlético Madrid, last weekend.

The Colchoneros will certainly move on from Félix next summer after his public demand for a move to Barça completely fractured his relationship with the Capital club, and Atlético hope that a big offer will come either from a club in Europe or Saudi Arabia.
