Barca want to keep Joao Felix for the 2024-25 season, but to do so they will have to reach an agreement with Atletico, as the loan ends on 30th June. The 'Colchoneros', according to 'Sport', would be interested in getting a Barcelona player in exchange. The Metropolitano outfit would agree to leave their player if, in exchange, they get Vitor Roque.

Joao Felix is on the verge of ending his loan spell with FC Barcelona if the Catalan club don't do something about it. Hansi Flick is counting on the Portuguese for next season and has made this known to the board, who are already looking for a way to avoid him having to return to Atletico Madrid.
At first, the 'Colchoneros' wanted a permanent transfer to the 'Cules', but the Catalans are not even considering it. A solution could be a swap deal and Atletico would not see it with bad eyes.
'Sport' claims that the Metropolitano outfit would agree to an exchange of loan deals. The 'Colchoneros' would be very interested in Vitor Roque and also in Ferran Torres, although Barcelona already said "no" to the option of the latter moving to the Spanish capital last summer.
Therefore, Vitor Roque emerges as the perfect option for Atletico. Memphis has already announced that he is leaving Simeone's side and Morata could suffer the same fate, as he has made it clear that he will not continue if he is not guaranteed to play.
This could be a solution for Barca, who could be forced by Financial Fair Play to let the Brazilian leave. In exchange, the club would ensure the continuity of Joao Félix.
The footballer will have the last word, but 'Sport' is quite optimistic. The newspaper claims that the deal could be completed in July and that "none of the parties doubt that an agreement will be reached".
