Real Madrid reportedly end their interest in signing Benfica youngster Joao Felix, who is attracting attention from a number of top European clubs.

Real Madrid have reportedly pulled out of the race to sign Benfica youngster Joao Felix.

The prospect netted 19 goals during his breakthrough campaign in the first team, and it has resulted in frequent speculation regarding the Portuguese's future.

Real had allegedly been interested in signing Felix, before allowing the playmaker to spend another season at Benfica, but Marca claims that the Spanish giants are no longer keen to bring in the attacker.

The report suggests that Real are prioritising the signing of Chelsea winger Eden Hazard, a deal which will leave the club unable to pay over £100m for Felix.

Benfica are currently in the process of trying to raise the academy graduate's release clause in an attempt to see off interest from the likes of Manchester City and Manchester United.
