New Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has delivered his verdict on Joao Felix following the Portuguese's difficult season on loan at the Camp Nou.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Felix fulfilled his dream last season when he joined Barcelona on loan for the 2023-24 campaign. However, the 24-year-old was unable to recapture the electric form that once made him regarded as one of European football's brightest prospects.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Felix made 24 starts in all competitions for the Blaugrana, netting 10 goals. That included home and away strikes against parent club Atleti. Barca's incoming manager faced the same question upon their arrival: try to push for another season of Felix or allow him to return to the capital?
WHAT FLICK WANTS
It would seem that Flick is of the former mindset. According to Marca, the German has told officials that he is keen for the forward to return to Barcelona on loan for another season.
Flick is of the belief that Felix would be a valuable member of his squad. And considering he's only two years removed from being Atleti's Player of the Year, it seems wise to push for an extension in an attempt to unlock to real Felix.
WHAT NEXT FOR FLICK?
Sorting out Felix's future is just one item on a long list of to-dos for Flick, who replaced Xavi last month. The club's financial position remains troublesome - to the extent that Barcelona cannot even register their new head coach or his staff - and any good offers for members of his squad will have to be listened to. Indeed, winger Raphinha is set to be the subject of a €100 million (£85m/$109m) offer from a 'powerful' team from Saudi Arabia, according to reports.
