According to As, Barcelona are now prioritizing keeping the
Cancelo (name)
on the body, rather than
Felix
Barcelona are currently facing several dilemmas, including La Liga's unacceptability of signing Felix on a low salary, which violates the principle of financial fairness. In addition, Felix's poor performance in the recent Europa League has reduced his market value. Despite the fact that Barcelona director Deco has personally met with Felix and Cancelo's agent, Jorge Mendes, the challenge of having difficulty completing a deal for Felix remains.
The current excess of Barcelona over the salary cap remains high and Felix's high salary makes it impossible for them to continue paying. As a result, Deco has asked Mendes to be patient, but there is no guarantee that the deal for Felix will go through. In this case, Barca will prioritize keeping Cancelo, especially since new manager Frick had hoped to sign him when he was at Bayern.
Barcelona also plan to strengthen their midfield and left winger to further round out their squad. Felix's future remains in doubt, and despite Benfica's interest in purchasing 50% of his ownership, Barcelona will continue to keep an eye on the matter.
Laporta has repeatedly emphasized Barcelona's need for Felix, but there is a growing belief within the club that he may not be the reinforcement they need most. While Felix possesses great talent, his inconsistent performances and high salary have made the hierarchy skeptical.
