Joao Felix's loan at Barcelona ends at the end of the season and the Portugal international will return to Atletico Madrid after that.
Diario Sport report that Xavi is 'not convinced' by the forward as he is too inconsistent. So the head coach is not desperate to keep him at the club.
In fact, the boss would prefer the club to sign either Nico Williams or Dani Olmo instead of keeping Felix. However, the Portuguese could remain at Barca if they fail to land the aforementioned forwards.
Another condition is that Atletico will have to agree to let Felix leave on loan again. The Catalans obviously do not have the money to buy him as Atleti demand €60m for his signature.
The 24-year-old has scored seven goals and provided three assists in 27 La Liga appearances for Barca so far this season.
