Even though Joao Felix only has an offer from Aston Villa on the table that he rejected because he wants to play the Champions League. The Portuguese forward didn't hesitate to express his wish in an exclusive statement made to journalist Fabrizio Romano: "I would love to play at Barça," he said.

The Portugal international is still waiting for the chance that allows him to leave Atletico Madrid, he has a claer path: "Barcelona has always been my first choice and I would love to join them," he stated.

In that sense, Joao Felix would go deeper into his wish to change the Metropolitano stadium for Camp Nou. "It's always been my wish, since I was a child," he added. In fact, he doesn't lose hope. "If this happens, this would be a dream come true for me," he said.

That's how Atletico Madrid's former No. 7 player (whose number is now held by Antoine Griezzman) leaves the ball in Jorge Mendes' court. President Joan Laporta should also get this message, who has never hidden his predilection for the young player.
