Benfica have confirmed on their website that they have received an offer totaling 126 million euros from Atletico Madrid for João Felix, according to Reuters.

The offer matches the 19-year old’s release clause, and will make the Portugal international the most expensive player in the Spanish club’s history. The transfer will also see Felix become the fifth most expensive signing ever, and the most expensive Portuguese player.

Elsewhere, Manchester United are reportedly preparing to offer Sporting around 80 million euros for the services of club captain Bruno Fernandes.
