Benfica reject Real Madrid's first offer for Joao Felix

In this sense, the cited media outlet sustains that Real Madrid wanted to divide up the payment of 120 million payment by offering 80 million euros guaranteed plus up to another 40 million based on variables. However, the Lisbon club have rejected the offer and urged them to pay 120 million if they wanted the player. 

Joao Felix has attracted the interest of big European clubs and teams like United, City, Juventus, Bayern and Atletico Madrid are in the race to sign him. At 19, the talented Portuguese attacker has a promising future and everything wants him in their ranks. 

Simeone has highlighted him as the ideal candidate to substitute Griezmann as the main man in attack. The team will see lots of new faces come in over the summer. 

Nevertheless, at the Santiago Bernabeu, they do not rule out paying the 120 million euros from his buyout clause. Despite having an extensive list of players who are similiar to Joao Felix, Real Madrid do not want to make the same mistake that they made with Kylian Mbappe. They now feel it is impossible to get him from PSG.
