Juventus step up chase for Joao Felix

According to a recent report from Sky Sports, Juventus are going to be meeting up with representatives of Joao Felix this week in order to discuss the possibility of getting a deal done ahead of the summer transfer window. The 19 year old has burst onto the scene in recent months with a string of great performances over in Portugal, with arguably his headline making moment being his hat-trick against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League recently.

Felix is believed to have a £100 million buyout clause, with Chelsea, West Ham United and Manchester City all being interested in him. French side Monaco also put forward a bid that was believed to be around £20 million, but as you can probably tell, it didn’t come anywhere close to being accepted.

The main allure of a potential move to Juve is said to be a link-up with his fellow countryman, and all-time great, Cristiano Ronaldo.
