In order to finalize a double loan deal for Felix and his Portugal international teammate Cancelo, La Blaugrana were obliged to wait until the very last minutes of the summer transfer window.
Both players wanted to leave their parent clubs for the 2023–24 season, and Barcelona and the pair had been linked for weeks.
Felix is expected to have a positive effect on Xavi's team, and Cancelo will give the defending La Liga winners experience and versatility.
Xavi has selected both players in his traveling squad for the last league game before the international break since they both registered in time to go to Pamplona.
Cancelo is more likely to start against Osasuna since Xavi wants to make some adjustments to his defense, although Felix might come on as a substitute at El Sadar
