Liverpool 'fail with £61m bid for Benfica teenager Joao Felix'

Liverpool have reportedly had a £61m bid for Benfica teenager Joao Felix turned down.

Felix, 19, has scored six times in 17 appearances for his Portuguese club during the 2018-19 campaign.

According to Correio da Manha, Liverpool launched an offer of £61m for the forward, but that was quickly turned down by Benfica, who are believed to have included a £105m buy-out clause in the teenager's latest contract.

The report has also claimed that Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona and Monaco are all monitoring the performances of the 10-time Portugal Under-21 international.

Felix made his debut for Benfica B at the age of 16 and scored seven times for his club's reserve side before stepping into the first team for the 2018-19 campaign.
