Joao Felix is set to return to Atletico Madrid this summer after spending the season on loan at Barcelona.

In 2019 Atletico smashed their transfer record to sign the Portuguese playmaker from Benfica, paying £127million to bring the teenager to the Estadio Metropolitano.

However, Felix has struggled to find his feet in La Liga, and despite ten goals in all competitions for Xavi's side has failed to shake his reputation as an inconsistent performer in Catalonia.

As such, it appears Barca will not look sign him permanently once the window opens, leaving him in limbo once more.

According to a report from Spanish publication AS, the Colchoneros are willing to allow Felix to leave for around €60 million (£51m) this summer, though his wages are likely to rule out a move to all but the wealthiest of potential suitors.
