[Saba Sports News] Joao Felix, who recently joined
Barcelona on loan from Atletico Madrid, made a surprising revelation during an
interview with the media following their victory over the Belgian team Antwerp
in the Champions League. He disclosed that he turned down a significant amount
of money to join Barcelona, but he has no regrets because joining Barcelona was
his true desire. Felix candidly stated that he made financial sacrifices as his
salary at Barcelona is considerably lower than before. At 23 years old, Felix
was signed by Atletico Madrid from Benfica in the summer transfer window of
2019 for a fee of 127.2 million euros. Felix’s move to Barcelona from Atletico
Madrid this summer is a loan deal and does not include a buyout clause.
