The unexpected help that Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal is giving FC Barcelona

As the EUROS 2024 continues to produce magical moments on the pitch, Portuguese fans are satisfied with their team's performance in the competition. Cristiano Ronaldo has yet to score a goal in EUROS, but his contribution to the team is very valuable, and he is a starter of the team without question. Due to his impact on the pitch, very few minutes are given to certain attacking players in the national team. This keeps FC Barcelona peeking and hoping it continues that way, as Joao Felix has not played a single minute in the EUROS after two matches in the group stage. Because of Ronaldo's impact on the pitch, Joao Felix is not in contention to get minutes over him, Rafael Leao, and Diogo Jota, which makes Barcelona happy, for a good purpose. Sport reports that Joao Felix not playing a single minute at EURO 2024 so far speaks to Barça's advantage as it will contribute to lowering his price. FC Barcelona still wants to sign him this summer or potentially bring him on another loan deal from Atletico Madrid.

Joao Felix played a total of 44 matches for FC Barcelona this past season across all competitions. He scored a total of 10 goals and provided six assists across all competitions. He impressed the majority of FC Barcelona fans, and the club wants to see him in the squad next season under the new manager, Hansi Flick.

Sport reports that the club will soon decide about signing Joao Felix on a permanent basis or signing him on another loan deal. The report reads that Jorge Mendes will land in Barcelona next week to discuss multiple topics with Barça. Apart from the Joaos and Ansu Fati, the meeting should also serve to advance the renewal of Guille Fernández.
