Benfica v Eintracht Frankfurt - UEFA Europa League Quarter Final: First Leg

João Félix has seen his stock skyrocket this season, being linked with most top clubs, from the likes of Real Madrid, Juventus, Liverpool and Manchester United. It's not hard to see why he has so many suitors either. At just 19, the Portuguese prodigy has scored 15 goals and assisted a further 7 in 34 games for Benfica this season. He's also an extremely versatile player, capable of playing on either wing, behind the striker, or as the striker. This versatility would come in handy for Juventus, giving Félix a better chance of successfully forming a partnership with Juve's other Portuguese star, Cristiano Ronaldo. Félix would likely replace one of Dybala, or Mandžukić, in Juve's front three, especially long term with Mandžukić getting on in years and Dybala struggling for form.

Ronaldo may also give Juve a unique advantage in their attempts to sign Félix. With so many of Europe's top clubs interested, it may be a difficult transfer to pull off but the Portuguese Felix, has previously stated a desire to play alongside his countryman stating, "I would like to play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo because he is simply the greatest.,an idol, a world icon, an example for everyone. Playing with a 'monster' like him would allow me to grow even more."

Juve will certainly hope that Ronaldo can help lure the man dubbed his heir to Turin, but João Félix certainly won't come cheap. Benfica will essentially be able to name their price, with so many clubs chasing Félix's signature, Juve could well find themselves amidst a bidding war come this summer.

Félix has been linked with a big-money move to Juventus this summer and is believed to have a €120m buyout clause.
