João Felix will return for pre-season training at Atletico Madrid in the coming weeks but his future remains uncertain.
The Portuguese international remains clear in his desire to return Barcelona after spending last season on loan in Catalonia.
However, his position is only one piece of the puzzle, with La Blaugrana unable and unwilling to meet Atletico Madrid's €80 million price tag.
Barcelona are open to another loan deal, with a possible reduced purchase option, which the Rojiblancos want to make mandatory.
As the sage passes, Former team Benfica have also registered an interest, alongside links to the Premier League.
Both options would be a back-up choice for Felix at this stage with Barcelona his sole focus ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.
According to the latest from BrandAtletico are open to offers, but nothing has landed in Madrid who are close to their requests with Benfica also to formalize their interest in the 24-year-old.
