Joao Felix has caught the attention of some of Europe’s biggest clubs with his performances. The likes of Juventus, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Liverpool have all been linked with him.

However, Benfica president Luis Felipe Vieira has claimed that the youngster is not for sale and that his release clause, which is a whopping €120 million, should be increased.

Furthermore, he was happy that top clubs are looking at him and dubbed Felix as the best Portuguese talent since Ronaldo.

"I am happy that all of Europe is talking about Benfica's talents," Vieira told Tuttosport.

"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.”

"At this moment we are not interested in selling him and soon we will increase the release clause in his contract.”
