The agent of Benfica starlet Joao Felix has reportedly offered his client to Real Madrid ahead of a host of other interested clubs.

Felix has emerged as one of the brightest young talents in European football, with his form this season attracting admiring glances from the likes of Manchester United, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have also been linked with the 19-year-old as a result of their close relationship with his agent, but Don Balon reports that Jorge Mendes has instead given Madrid first choice on the youngster.

Felix has been dubbed 'the new Cristiano Ronaldo' in some quarters, and Mendes is keen for him to join the same club where Ronaldo established himself as one of the greatest players of all time by scoring 450 goals in just 438 appearances.

Mendes has reportedly urged Los Blancos to move quickly for the teenager in order to avoid his price tag increasing any more, with his current release clause understood to stand at over £100m.

Felix has scored 10 goals and created four more in 18 league appearances for Benfica this season.
