Juventus would be prepared to cash-in on Argentina forward Paulo Dybala and fund a €100 million move for Benfica wonder kid Joao Felix, according to reports.
Felix, 19, has emerged as a breakout star in 2018/19 thanks to a staggering record of 15 goals and seven assists in 36 appearances. Scouts were wowed again on Thursday when the teenager excelled in a 4-2 quarter-final, first-leg victory versus Eintracht Frankfurt, becoming the Europa League’s youngest-ever hat-trick scorer.
Tuttosport have stated that the perennial Serie A champions have joined the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and the two Manchester giants in holding an interest in the youngster. In order to meet their valuation of him, that is €20m less than his €120m buyout clause, a sale of Dybala is being countenanced.
The attacker has scored 10 times in 37 matches for Juve this term, but has struggled for regular starts.
The 25-year-old does, however, retain a transfer valuation higher than Felix’s. If a buyer can be found, this cash would be funnelled into the chase for the Portugal Under-21 sensation.
