Joao Felix fulfilled his childhood dream of playing for Barcelona.

The Portuguese was loaned from Atletico Madrid to Barcelona this season and made a big sacrifice to be able to play for the Spanish champions.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Joao Felix will receive only €400,000 a year from the Catalans, while his annual salary at Atletico Madrid was around €13 million.

“My dream has come true. This is what I have dreamed of since childhood.” – said Joao Felix. He burst into tears at the official presentation.

Felix was also out on loan in the second half of last season at Chelsea but failed to impress. In 20 matches for the club at Stamford Bridge, the 23-year-old scored 4 goals.

According to Transfermarkt, his market share is 50 million euros.
