14 - João Félix

[Raketa10]

He was non existent vs dinamo zagreb


Overrated kiddo

He scored 3 goals after frankfurt player got red card

Exactly. So his buyout clause is exactly the same as the one Griezmann has?!?!

 

[CatalinR10]

120 mil ?

He'll probably flop in the next big club he goes

 

[Givenchy]

this ridiculous hyping has to stop.. he may be the real deal but imo he needs a few more seasons at Benfica to develop. also read somewhere his dream is to play alongside Cristiano so Juve could be an option if they sell Dybala?

Dybala is a goner this summer

 

[raki]

I'm beginning to like this guy a lot. There's something about his finishes that just screams confidence, a bit like Mbappe when first emerging to the scene.

I hope our board considers him to replace Suarez if Benfica asks for a resonable fee for him.

 

[Riordon]

I also like him but the problem is that he looks like to be a second striker or a number 10. Looks to be best in Messi's position. His finishing and runs in behind defence give the impression that he would be able to play like a 9.

 

[Donatello]

Seems like our scouts are monitoring him, so are Real.

Zidane even tried to sign him 2 years ago(he scored 2 goals against Real in UYL), but Benfica refused. That says a lot.

Benfica are already planning to increase his buyout to 200M. I don't think he'll cost less than 100M, considering the hype.

Saw on twitter that we are the only club outside Portugal he follows on instagram. He even follows a lot of our B players like Monchu and so on. Interesting.

There is hope

Interesting. Barca fan?

 

[Andresito]

Without checking all of his 600+ follows. These are some of them:

Prince
Messi + Anto
Riqui Puig
Dembele
Coutinho
Monchu
Collado
Thiago
Griezmann
Sterling
Neymar
Benzema
Cristiano
van Aanholt
Depay
Richarlison

Also FC Barcelona.

Interesting indeed if true but doesn't mean much.

Anyway, I'm wondering if a few weeks ago when Bartomeu was in Lisbon talking with Benfica's president (apparently about Jović whose rights they still owe) he was really there for Joao Felix and then he used media to create interest in Jović (who I don't doubt we were also interested in but maybe not as much as MD said) while we were secretly negotiating and possibly even make some preliminary agreement for Felix. Now MD is saying we are not after Jović anymore so we can assume Felix is a done deal but this won't be announced before the end of the season. Not very likely but GOATomeu is an old fox and who knows what his plans are.

As I said a few times already I don't see Felix as a pure "9" (for now at least) which we should be targeting as Suarez's replacement but there is no doubt he's talented and maybe the club thinks he can develop into that role in a year or two. In the meantime while Suarez is still here we could use his versatility to get him more playing time as he could probably easy play in any of the forward positions. In the end it all depends on Benfica's asking price. 120M is too much but if we can get him for 70-80M I would be ok with that. We can also include 30 or even 50M Balon D'or clause for all I care because if this kid will ever become a top 3 player in the world he will be easily worth 100M+.
