Joao Felix has been outstanding for the club. He also wants to stay at Camp Nou. He has provided a promising start to his Barcelona career. However, he has lost his place in the first-team XI to the in-form Ferran Torres.
It won’t be easy to offer him a permanent deal. His parent club, Atletico Madrid are seeking €80 million for the Portuguese.
On the other hand, Joao Cancelo has maintained his position in the starting XI. The 29-year-old scored twice and grabbed one assist in 15 La Liga appearances.
