Barcelona coach Xavi is keen to see Joao Felix sent back to Atletico Madrid.

That's according to Okdiario's chief pundit Eduardo Inda, when speaking on El Chiringuito.

He explained: "There is a player who Xavi didn't want last season and still doesn't want. Deco and the president (Joan Laporta) do want him to go on and it's about Joao Flix.

"Xavi thinks he is an inconsistent player, that could be top, but he does not explode. It is something similar to what happened to him at Atletico.

"Deco and Laporta they are going to negotiate a new loan to buy for the following season, although Xavi would not.

"Bara will only sign Bernardo Silva if he mkes a gesture. They can only sign if they (Manchester City) sell him for 20 million (euros)."
