Felix's performance is unstable, it looks like he is returning to his performance when he was at Chelsea, very bad. Much different from when he first came to Barcelona, his performance was praised by many parties. Because in reality Felix only wanted to play at Barcelona, and after realizing his dream of joining Barca, he really enjoyed playing at Barcelona and since his debut with Barcelona, his face looked happy, this indicated that Felix was happy with Barcelona. But unfortunately now he is not included in the main team against Las Palmas because his performance has decreased.
If we're honest, Felix is actually not the player that Xavi really wants, but Laporta's dream player since 2021 has been planned. However, due to the financial failure inherited by the previous president, Laporta was able to take advantage of this opportunity. In fact, Barcelona is said to be the club in the UCL with the lowest player transfer spending this season. Laporta should be the next president of Barcelona like Florentino in Madrid, but unfortunately Barcelona has to change president every 5 years.
Joao Felix's performance is actually like an average player, in fact since he joined Barcelona he could only be impressive once because he felt very happy at that time to be joining Barcelona, he should have been able to prove to Xavi that he not only wanted to join Barcelona but also provided the best and can improve his performance from day to day because so far Joao Felix's performance is still the same, there has been no truly significant improvement, if Joao Felix is like this, it is likely that Xavi will be hesitant to make him permanent.
That's why Xavi doesn't always give Joao Felix the opportunity to enter the main club because Xavi knows that Joao Felix potential is not much so Xavi doesn't really need him because what Xavi wants is a striker who can provide many goal opportunities like Lewandowski but unfortunately with limited finances currently owned by Barcelona, it seems like it will be difficult to get a striker who matches Xavi's expectations.
