FC Barcelona is interested in keeping João Félix, but only on loan, opening the door for another club willing to pay for a permanent transfer.
Aston Villa, another club interested in the Portuguese international, are also reportedly only interested in a loan.
Meanwhile, S.L. Benfica are willing to make an offer for a transfer. Atlético de Madrid would prefer such a transfer over a loan, but it remains to be seen whether the player himself accepts the offer.
This is all according to a new report from Portugal, which also says that Félix may see a move back to the Portuguese league as a backwards move.
