Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix has flown to Barcelona to complete a season-long loan move at the last minute.
The 23-year-old has endured a nightmare spell for the Mattress Makers and has been desperate to leave the Civitas Metropolitano after falling out with head coach Diego Simeone early this summer.
Joao Felix set for Barca move
Felix had issued a come-get-me plea to the Catalans and it is believed that the Portuguese international had prioritized a move to the Nou Camp over any other clubs. Now, it seems like Felix has got his wish.
As filmed by Spanish journalist Adria Alberts, Felix is waiting in a Barcelona city center hotel to sign a season-long contract alongside Manchester City defender Joao Cancelo and the agent they share, Jorge Mendes.
