Premier League powerhouse Liverpool are reportedly keen on Felix Correia, who is also a target for Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund.
Liverpool are interested in signing the latest wing wizard to emerge from the fabled Sporting Lisbon academy, according to Don Balon.
The likes of Luis Figo, Cristiano Ronaldo, Nani, Gelson Martins and Rafael Leao have all made their name at the Estadio Jose Alvaalde and it seems that Felix Correia has all the talent to follow in their esteemed footsteps.
The Portuguese U19 international is yet to force his way into Sporting’s first-team plans but the fact that he is out of contract in 2020 has not gone unnoticed.
Don Balon reports that Liverpool are rivalling the likes of Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund, Napoli, Monaco and Lazio for Correia’s signature.
Barcelona are also understood to be keen, with the La Liga giants apparently willing to pay around £10 million.
Corriea has been compared to Ousmane Dembele in the report, the French World Cup winner who moved to the Camp Nou for an initial £96.8 million in 2017 (BBC). Dembele has scored 13 goals and produced eight assists this season, establishing himself as one of the rising stars of European football.
If Correia can prove to be half as talented then he’ll be a very good player.
