At 19 years of age, Joao Felix keeps on accumlating praise and suitors, which makes his 120 million euro buyout clause one of the best investments which could be carried out next summer. A gem which half of Europe are after.
Therefore, Real Madrid sent their scouts to Lisbon to closely follow the Benfica-Eintracht Frankfurt match. A duel which the Portuguese decided with a historic hat-trick, converting himself in the young footballer to achieve that in the Europa League.
Despite his youth, Joao Felix has now got 15 goals and six assists. Numbers which distinguish him as one of world football's players with the brightest future and earning himself the inevitable comparison with Kylian Mbappe. The Frenchman burst onto the scene two seasons ago with Monaco.
Real Madrid have got Joao Felix's position well covered with Asensio, Vinicius, Rodrygo and the supposed addition of Eden Hazard. However, in Chamartin they still regret not signing Mbappe and they do not want to make the same mistake again.
