Laporta 'puts Joao Felix above Haaland and Mbappe', compares him to Cruyff
Diario Sport journalist David Bernabeu reveals one curious detail from one of his interviews with Joan Laporta.
"One day, I asked him in private... 'President, tell me the truth. If you could, would you sign Mbappe or Haaland?'
"'You know I would sign Joao Felix instead,' he replied."
Laporta has been a fan of Joao Felix since 2019 when the Portuguese played for Benfica. The president sees a difference maker in the 23-year-old, even comparing him to one of Barca's biggest legends Johan Cruyff.
No wonder Joao Felix has been assigned no. 14 at Blaugrana – the one the Dutchman used to wear throughout his career.
