Atletico Madrid are ready to fight Manchester City in the battle to sign Benfica wonderkid Joao Felix.
Goal can confirm that Atletico are hopeful of convincing the Portugal international that he will earn more first-team opportunities at Wanda Metropolitano than with the Premier League champions.
Felix has broken onto the scene during the last year, scoring 20 goals and laying on 11 assists in 43 matches across all competitions for Benfica, with a number of Europe's top clubs reported to now be interested in the 19-year-old.
Real Madrid, Manchester United and Juventus have all been cited as potential destinations ahead of the 2019-20 campaign while Goal reported in April that he was a seen as an option to improve Pep Guardiola's squad.
