Incoming Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has informed the club’s board of his feelings regarding the potential return of João Félix this summer.
That’s according to Marca, who have on Saturday provided an insight into the latest developments behind the scenes in Catalunya’s capital.
Frontman Félix is of course fresh off a season-long loan stint on Barcelona’s books.
Across this stretch, the Portuguese international racked up 44 appearances across all competitions, chipping in with a solid-if-unspectacular ten goals and six assists along the way.
espite as much, the widespread understanding until very recently was that Félix was in line for an imminent return to base with parent club Atlético Madrid.
This comes with the 24-year-old having failed to convince Xavi of his worthiness of continuing in Barca’s colours beyond the summer.
The change on the bench at the Camp Nou, however, could yet see Félix afforded a 2nd chance.
That’s according to the aforementioned Marca, who have confirmed that:
‘Hansi Flick believes that he is a player who can contribute things to the team’ across the upcoming season.
The German has informed Deco and co. of precisely as much, with it reiterated that Flick ‘would welcome the forward’s continuity’.
The Blaugrana, as a result, are soon expected to reignite discussions with their counterparts at Atlético, over the terms of another one-year loan.
