Breaking news, this is the $65 million midfielder Joao Felix wants for Barcelona

Joao Felix arrived at Barcelona this summer on a one-year loan. This was the solution Atlético Madrid found for him after his failed experience at Chelsea. Despite paying over $120 million for him to Benfica in 2019, things did not go as expected and it was clear that the forward had no place in Diego Simeone's team, with whom he has had a bad relationship during the last few years.

Felix's words during an interview with journalist Fabrizio Romano were decisive for his arrival at the Catalan side to become a reality. There, he had assured that his dream since he was a child was to wear the blue and red jersey, and that he hoped to be able to do so one day. This was obviously part of the player's strategy to put pressure on the Atlético Madrid chiefs to let him leave. And it worked.

And now he again gave an interview in which he surprised everyone. But this time he did not talk about himself, but about a player he would like to have as a teammate in Barcelona. In a conversation with Spiler TV, Felix said: "I like his game and I think he could play here one day".

He is talking about Dominik Szoboszlai, the Hungarian midfielder who arrived at Liverpool this summer and has wowed fans around the world with his talent. In fact, he scored one of the Reds' goals in Wednesday's 2-0 win over Sheffield United at Bramall Lane, which left them just 2 points behind leaders Arsenal in the Premier League standings.

How much is he worth?

Liverpool paid almost $65 million to RB Leipzig for Dominik Szoboszlai in the last transfer window. And his performances in England have made his value increase in recent months. In fact, according to the specialized website Transfermarkt, the midfielder is now worth more than $75 million. Therefore, despite Joao Felix's desire, it is unlikely that Barcelona will be able to make an offer for him, considering the serious financial problems they have.
