Joao Felix has a release clause of £105million
The 19-year-old scored 19 goals and provided eight assists and his performances have attracted plenty of suitors.
Manchester United are said to have already made a bid of around £90million for Felix but that is some way off Benfica’s valuation.

They are not willing to let him go for anything less than his release clause, which is £105million, it is understood.

They also say that the Manchester club want to tie Felix down to a four or five year contract worth around £4million a year.
