The Portuguese forward is not planning a return to Barcelona, focusing instead on his current club's future.
João Félix has definitively ruled out a return to FC Barcelona, dashing the club’s hopes of reintegrating him into their attacking lineup.
Despite Barcelona’s ongoing search for a new forward before the transfer window closes at the end of August, Félix has made it clear that he is not interested in rejoining the Catalan giants, particularly due to concerns over reduced wages.
Félix, currently under contract with Atlético Madrid, had a stint with Barcelona on loan last season, where he showed moments of promise but struggled with consistency.

His tenure at the club was marred by challenges in securing a regular starting spot amidst a competitive forward line featuring Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal, and Dani Olmo.
The latest update from COPE suggests that Félix’s reluctance to accept lower wages is a significant factor in his decision to rule out a return to Barcelona.
This stance effectively ends any hopes Barcelona had of re-signing him, which had been fueled by his previous association with the club and Barcelona's urgent need for attacking reinforcements.
