Joao Felix has expressed his interest in playing alongside Liverpool standout Dominik Szoboszlai at Barcelona in the future.
Szoboszlai made a high-profile move to Liverpool from RB Leipzig during the 2023 summer transfer window, securing a £60 million deal and signing a five-year contract at Anfield. The midfielder quickly endeared himself to fans, starting all 14 of Liverpool’s Premier League games in the current season, contributing with one goal and showcasing creativity and skill on the ball.
Felix, currently on loan at Barcelona from Atletico Madrid, acknowledged Szoboszlai’s impressive form and expressed his admiration for the Hungarian midfielder. In an interview with Spiler TV, Felix identified Szoboszlai as a player he would love to see join Barcelona someday, saying, “Liverpool’s Dominik Szoboszlai. I like his game, I think he can play here one day.”
