Joao Felix's agent Jorge Mendes 'was keen for Portugal playmaker to join Manchester City before his £113m move to Atletico Madrid'

Manchester City have reportedly been warned off any potential move for Atletico Madrid starlet Joao Felix.

The Blues have been linked with the 22-year-old but he is 'untouchable' at the Spanish champions, according to reports.

However, the Portugal playmaker would already be at the Etihad if his agent Jorge Mendes had had his way two years ago.
