Benfica president Luis Filipe Vieira has called Joao Felix one of the best talents to emerge from Portugal since Cristiano Ronaldo.
The club's chief recently spoke to Tuttosport (h/t Calciomercato.com) and confirmed plans to increase the youngster's €120 million (£102.8 million) release clause while making the comparison to Ronaldo:
"I am happy that all of Europe is talking about Benfica's talents. Now it is clear that our project of betting on young players is bearing the desired results. Joao Felix the next Ronaldo? There is only one sure thing: Felix is one of the best talents produced by Portuguese football since Ronaldo.
