Disappointment For Xavi as Joao Felix Dreams of Real Madrid Transfer, Per Reports

Soccer managers always want the best players to stay with the club. However, FC Barcelona’s manager, Xavi, might soon lose one of his finest players, as his dream club is Real Madrid. We are talking about none other than Joao Felix, who admires Jude Bellingham and soon wishes to join forces with him in Real Madrid. The Portuguese star, who plays as a forward for Barca, has always kept Real Madrid as his ultimate destination.

Felix grabbed a lot of eyeballs during the 2018–19 season at S.L. Benfica. Many believe that he later joined Atletico Madrid for $120 million just so that he could live near Santiago Bernabéu. Now let’s dive deeper into the matter and find out the plans of the 24-year-old.

Joao Felix wants to move to Real Madrid

As per a social media post by Madrid Universal, Joao Felix’s ambition is to wear the jersey of Real Madrid. The Portuguese star even pressured his agent, Jorge Mendes, to secure him a move to Atletico Madrid as a stepping stone to his ultimate destination. From there, he was sent over to Barcelona. The 24-year-old recently tried to grab the attention of Real Madrid with his recent celebratory gestures when Barcelona won against Atletico.

Moreover, Felix was also inspired by Jude Bellingham’s celebration at Montjuic during the Clásico. The Portuguese star wants to mimic the act in the future. Now he wishes to send a clear message to La Casa Blanca president Florentino Pérez about his aspirations. However, Felix remains unsuccessful in capturing the attention of the giants and continues to wait.

The surging star failed to live up to the hype at Atletico and later decided to make a loan move to Barcelona. Fortunately, he has enjoyed his time at the club and is satisfied under the coaching of Xavi. However, his dream has always been to make the big move to his idol Cristiano Ronaldo’s previous club.

The young soccer star is a huge fan of Cristiano Ronaldo

Joao Felix had one of the best moments of his soccer career after he helped FC Barcelona win the La Liga game. After he found a place on the scoresheet, his past comments on Cristiano Ronaldo surfaced. The Portuguese international had earlier stated, “Cristiano Ronaldo is my idol. He is an example for me in everything. Cristiano has been the best in the world since my childhood.”
