Joao Felix still wants to play for Barcelona but the agreement with his home club, Atletico, is still unclear at this time. Meanwhile his status is as an Atletico player and perhaps everything will be determined when the transfer window ends on the final day. I think, however, Joao Felix is the player that Barcelona needs at the moment, but Barcelona also can't make up his mind because he is constrained by his permanent costs.
If only Barcelona were in their financial glory days they would definitely pay the transfer fee from Atletico and now only proper negotiations can save them from getting Joao Felix back. The love of players cannot even be expressed in words, so Barcelona must be able to do their best so that Joao Felix's path to the Blaugrana can go well. If in the end Joao Felix can't return to Barcelona, I think he will be very stressed about being back at Atletico starting next season.

However, the problem is that currently Atletico Madrid is planning to sell Joao Felix while the Barcelona team does not have enough money to carry out the transfer, this is quite confusing and there are parties who are at a loss of course because this is between Joao Felix and the Atletico Madrid team.
And I think returning to Atletico Madrid is also impossible, because the team doesn't want Joao Felix anymore.
If Barcelona is not willing to buy Joao Felix, maybe another team will do that because Joao Felix's quality is still quite good and he is still quite young.
