Benfica youngster Joao Felix 'to decide future after UEFA Nations League'

Felix 'to decide future after Nations League'

Benfica forward Joao Felix has revealed that he will not make a decision on his future until after the UEFA Nations League final.

Felix netted 19 goals during his breakthrough campaign with the Portuguese giants, and that has naturally resulted in interest in the youngster's signature.

Manchester City and Manchester United have both been linked with big-money bids for Felix, who made his senior debut for Portugal in the 3-1 win over Switzerland on Wednesday night.

The Premier League duo will be made to wait, however, as Felix has insisted that he will remain focused on his national team until the end of the week.

The 19-year-old is quoted by The Mirror as saying: "Now I'm focused on the national team. After finishing the Nations League, I'm going to resolve my life."

Felix has a £106m release clause in his contract, although Benfica have allegedly been looking to increase that by offering the prospect a new deal.
