Manchester City Match Joao Felix's €120m Release Clause With 'Informal Offer' to Benfica

Manchester City have made an 'informal offer' to Benfica that has matched the €120m release clause of starlet João Félix, according to a report from the youngster's native Portugal.

The 19-year-old forward has enjoyed a breakout season at the Estádio da Luz, where his 20 goals and 11 assists helped Benfica win the Primeira Liga title as well as reach the Europa League quarter-finals.

Félix has been attracting interest from across Europe ahead of the summer transfer window, with both Manchester City and United expected to rival La Liga's big hitters in the race for his signature.
