Fabrizio Romano has reported that the former Chelsea loanee, Felix, envisions a move to Barcelona if he departs Atletico Madrid this summer. Although Barcelona expresses interest in securing Felix's services, they are currently prioritizing the acquisition of Joao Cancelo from Manchester City.

Felix has recently reiterated his strong desire to join Barcelona above all other clubs. He expressed, "I’d love to play for Barca. Barcelona has always been my first choice and I’d love to join Barca. It was always my dream since I was a kid. If it happens, it will be a dream come true for me."
