Joao Felix is reportedly a target for the likes of Real Madrid, Juventus, PSG, and Premier League newcomers Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly in pole position to sign one of the most coveted young talents in world football – Benfica wonder-kid Joao Felix.
At the age of just 19, Felix has established himself in the Eagles’ first-team in recent months and has gone from strength to strength at the Estadio da Luz, sparking comparisons with compatriot and five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo.
Felix has even scored nine goals this season, the most recent coming in Benfica’s remarkable 10-0 Primeira Liga thrashing of Nacional on Sunday.
As a result, the teenager has apparently caught the eye of some of the biggest clubs on the continent with AS claiming that the likes of Real Madrid, Juventus, PSG, Manchester United, Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan are interested.
Wolves’ Premier League rivals West Ham are also understood to have asked about Felix’s price with Benfica making it clear that they are unwilling to sell for a penny less than his price-tag, which stands at an eye-watering £105 million.
Wolves have a huge challenge on their hands but the Mirror believes they are at the front of the queue thanks to their relationship with Jorge Mendes, the Iberian super-agent who has a huge influence in Portuguese football.
