Barcelona hand Joao Felix instant 10-fold pay-rise

Barcelona have increased Joao Felix's salary ten-fold this week.

Currently on-loan at Barca from Atletico Madrid, Felix agreed to join the Catalans for a salary of €400,000.

The Portugal international agreed to the major cut due to Barca's financial issues.

However, with Barca now in a better financial position - and given Felix's superb season start - the Catalans have agreed to up Felix's pay to €4m.

The new terms gets Felix closer to what he had been earning with Atletico and hands the striker a reward for his early form.
