Luka Jovic and Joao Felix could reportedly join Premier League champions Mancheter City from Eintracht Frankfurt and Benfica this summer.
Manchester City’s sporting director Txiki Begiristain scouted both Luka Jovic and Joao Felix in the recent Europa League clash between Eintracht Frankfurt and Benfica, according to Goal.
Jovic and Felix have emerged as some of the most exciting young talents in European football in recent months to put themselves at the centre of a continent-wide transfer chase.
Jovic, the so-called ‘Serbian Falcao’, has scored 25 goals this season for the Bundesliga high-flyers while Felix has hit the net 18 times himself despite playing as a number 10 rather than a centre-forward.
Felix, at just 19, is arguably the most exciting young midfielder in Europe and the comparisons with current City star David Silva are unavoidable.
According to Goal, Begiristain travelled to Lisbon to watch Felix and Jovic both hit the target in Benfica’s 4-2 first-leg win at the Estadio da Luz. The former even hit a hat-trick, becoming the youngest player ever to achieve the feat in the Europa League.
And Goal claims that several City players are keen to see Felix make the move to Manchester with the Premier League champions recently sending Begiristain to meet his agent, the influential Jorge Mendes.
