MANCHESTER CITY has outstripped its neighbors United and Real Madrid in the search for Joao Felix with a bid of £ 106 million to trigger its Benfica release clause.
That's what's happening in Portugal, where the under-21 star hopes to make his senior team debut against Switzerland in the Nations League semi-finals on Wednesday.

Benfica is well positioned, with European giants lining up for the 19-year-old.
But the offer announced by City overshadows an offer of £ 80 million from Real.
And this suggests that Etihad's leader, Pep Guardiola, considers Felix a prime target.
City has just won the National Treble but has edged only Liverpool in the Premier League by one point.
And Guardiola also knows that new European champions Jurgen Klopp will strengthen their team in order to win the high flight for the first time since 1990.
Benfica, along with their Portuguese rivals Sporting Lisbon, has been fertile ground for the best Prem players.
The city already has the former Eagles duo, Bernardo Silva and goalkeeper Ederson Moraes.
And the duo United Victor Lindelof and Nemanja Matic were also in Benfica.
