Barcelona are interested in making Joao Felix their big signing this summer as Ousmane Dembele closes is on a move to Paris Saint-Germain.
This comes as a big blow for Al-Hilal, who were believed to be interested in a move for the Portuguese forward, but the news of Barcelona’s interest in Felix, according to Mundo Deportivo could be a boost for the Saudi side.
Ansu Fati, the mercurial winger who has struggled with injuries in the past few seasons, has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia with an irresistible offer for the Spaniard made according to Javi Miguel Club.
The Saudi offer, you suspect, is from Jorge Jesus’ side as they bid to make an important signing before the Saudi Pro League season kicks off this weekend.
Fati could well be the transformative signing that the Saudi side have been looking for and at just 20 years of age, the Spanish forward has plenty of upside and could be the face of the division.
Would he make the move?
There are a lot of moving parts to this, a domino of events needs to happen. Joao Felix needs to move to Barcelona, and for that to happen Dembele needs to complete his move to PSG.
If these two things happen, Barcelona may well need to sell players to compete with Financial Fair Play and could sell Fati, with Saudi sides interested in the winger.
Fati himself doesn’t seem too interested in the move to the Middle East according to Gerard Romero, a reliable Spanish journalist, who has reported that Fati has turned down the advances of the Saudi side, although it hasn’t been said who the Saudi side are.
It seems that we may need to keep an eye out for developments around the 20-year-old winger later in the transfer window. Things may well develop if Barcelona signs Felix.
