Joao Felix wants to stay at Barcelona.

The Portuguese winger is on loan at Barcelona from Atletico Madrid and has settled well at the club after months of uncertainty about his future.

Felix made his highly anticipated move to Barcelona on transfer deadline day after months of speculation.

He reportedly fell out with Atletico manager Diego Simeone and publically confessed his dream of playing for Barcelona. He was shipped to Chelsea in January 2023 on loan, but a permanent move to the English club never materialized.

This season, he has seven goals and assists for Barcelona and has started 13 of the 16 games he has played so far, per Transfermarkt.
