With three games remaining, Barcelona are currently a massive 17 points behind champion Real Madrid. The Catalans were virtually unrecognisable for most of the 2023–24 season after winning the league the previous year.
Mooted Vitor Roque/Joao Felix trade agreement
Atleti trails by six points and has been dishonest for a significant portion of the season.
The Rojiblancos sent Joao Felix on loan to Barca, where he has made some significant goals this season—not to mention in both matches against his native team.
Nevertheless, even in the most important games, the Portuguese remains inconsistent and frequently finds himself on the bench.
Vitor Roque, a winter addition who hasn’t made an impact since signing, has frequently joined him there.
Xavi hasn’t given Tigrinho, as he was known in Brazil, much of an opportunity to shine, but when he has, he has fallen short.
Fichajes claims that this means there’s a prospect for a trade between the two, which would allow Atleti to finally get rid of Joao Felix while writing off what was a transfer error on the part of Barca.
It’s unclear who will be held accountable for transporting the adolescent to Catalonia, but assigning blame is probably pointless as well.
After all is said and done, both teams should still be able to benefit from unexpected transfer situations.
