Felix spent seven years at Portos academy before being released in 2014 because he was deemed too small.He moved to Benfica and quickly impressed as he made his reserve team debut a year later.He was then promoted to the senior side at the start of this season and has gone on to score 15 times in 26 appearances, while he’s also notched seven assists.Why such the high price tag?
Benfica clearly do not want to see another highly-rated youth prospect leave for another European league, like former starlet Renato Sanches.Felix signed a new contract in November amid reports of a number of clubs watching him closely.That improved deal will keep him at the Portuguese club until 2023 and increased his buyout clause from 45million to 105million.Benfica will not sell unless the clause is activated, when they will have no choice.
3Who is interested in him?
Chelsea, prior to their transfer ban, were understood to be watching the midfielder closely as they prepare for life after Eden Hazard.Liverpool also reportedly had a 60million bid rejected, with Real Madrid, Juventus, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund all scouting him heavily.But it’s now Manchester United and Manchester City battling for his signature with the current Premier League champions bidding the 105million and the Red Devils ready to match it.
3Who has he been compared to?
He possesses many of the same talents as Cristiano Ronaldo because of his pace, goalscoring ability and creativity.Felix has also been compared to retired Portuguese attacking midfielder Rui Costa.Who does he want to play with?
Felix has been touted as the next Ronaldo and the player himself has hinted at a move to Italy to play alongside his hero.Felix told Tuttosport: All the best Portuguese players have gone to play in the most important foreign leagues, and of course Id like to do that too.Id like to play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo because he is simply the best. Hes an idol, a world icon, an example for everyone.FUTURE STAR The Portuguese club slapped an eye-watering £105million price tag for the teenager who recently signed a new contract Manchester City and rivals United are both interested in Joao Felix this summer with the Benfica wonderkid dubbed as the next Cristiano Ronaldo.
