In the latest episode of his personal podcast, Romano discussed Felix's desire to return to Europe and addressed rumors of his potential return to Barcelona.

Romano stated: "Next, we need to talk about João Felix. I've received a lot of questions about him. Why?

The thing is, Felix has been performing exceptionally well for the Portuguese national team recently, which is true. Afterward, he gave an interview to the Spanish newspaper AS, saying: 'One day, I want to return to Europe. One day, I want to play in the Champions League again. Europe is always on my mind.'"

Felix had an outstanding season last year with Al-Nassr, winning the Saudi Pro League player of the year award. He has also started this season very well. So his performance in Saudi Arabia has indeed been excellent. For the Portuguese national team, under the new coaching cycle of Jorge Jesus, he has also had a very good start. He has scored goals and delivered high-quality performances. Therefore, Felix is currently in excellent form.

So, what's the key point about Felix? He wants to return to Europe, that's a fact.

Next, I need to clarify a few things. First, Felix indeed wants to return to Europe, but he is not pushing to leave Al-Nassr. He is happy at Al-Nassr, and the club has ambitious plans. Once his time at Al-Nassr concludes, he would be very happy to return to Europe. So what he means is returning after his experience at Al-Nassr is over.

Felix is not saying: 'I want to leave Al-Nassr, I want to return to Europe.' He wants to return to Europe, but only after his current experience at Al-Nassr has ended. This is the first point that needs clarification regarding Felix.

Then, many of you have asked me, and there have been many rumors in Spain: Barcelona, Felix, Felix, Barcelona. What's the actual situation? According to my information, there is currently no contact between Barcelona and Felix.

If you're asking whether Felix would be willing to return to Barcelona? Of course, he would. He loves Barcelona; he's a Barça fan. This is very similar to João Cancelo's situation; Cancelo is also a very loyal Barça fan.

So, if at some point in the future Barcelona reconsiders signing him, Felix would be very excited and very willing to return to Barcelona.

However, Felix is not talking to Barcelona, and Barcelona is not talking to Felix. There are no negotiations, no discussions, and no contact to initiate such a possibility. Felix is open to returning to Europe and is not considering only Barcelona. He doesn't only want to go to Barcelona. He loves Barça, that's true. But if Barcelona doesn't make a move, he will consider other opportunities.

So this matter has not progressed to an advanced stage, nor has it been discussed. Neither party has even engaged in communication or negotiations about it. Currently, there is no contact between Barcelona and Felix. This needs to be clarified."
