Atletico make Joao Felix number one target?

Benfica starlet Joao Felix is Atletico Madrid's top summer transfer target, according to a report.

Th 19-year-old has starred for the Portuguese club this term to earn links with a move to the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City and Juventus.

Felix has declared himself "very happy" at Benfica, though, and the Eagles will not let him leave unless his £105m release clause is triggered.

However, Marca claims that Atletico have not been put off and they intend to go all out to sign the soon-to-be-capped Portugal international as a replacement for Barcelona-bound Antoine Griezmann.

Felix scored 20 goals and registered 11 assists for Benfica in the 2018-19 campaign to help the club to the Portuguese title.
