The Ligue 1 giants are keen on overtaking the Catalan giants to sign the highly-rated winger. However, they are likely to face setbacks with the player only interested in a move to Barcelona, according to Spanish outlet Sport.

According to 90min, the Premier League side are ready for a speedy move for Felix if Atletico Madrid lower their asking price for the player to £50m to £60m.
