Barcelona sporting director Deco has spoken candidly about João Félix, shedding light on both his talent and the uncertainty surrounding his future at the club.
🗣️ “João had a strong season with us, no doubt. But the reality is, Atlético Madrid had no intention of selling him permanently. That complicated everything.”
Deco went on to express concerns about Félix’s attitude when faced with adversity:
“He’s a brilliant player, but sometimes it feels like he struggles when things don’t go his way. I sense he gives up too easily if he’s not in the starting XI—he must realize that even top players face difficult moments.”
🔍 What It Means:
While Deco clearly respects Félix’s ability, Barcelona’s hands are tied by Atlético’s unwillingness to negotiate. More importantly, the remarks hint that Félix may need to mature mentally and show greater resilience if he wants a future at Barça.
🚫 For now, a permanent move seems off the table unless circumstance
s change.
