Benfica whiz Joao Felix drops big Juventus and Ronaldo transfer hint

Benfica whiz Joao Felix has dropped a big hint of a future with Juventus.

Felix is considered one of the brightest prospects in Portuguese football, breaking through for Benfica this season.

He told TMW: “My future? It'll be a decision we make mutually. I personally have the utmost respect for everyone and I'm attracted by the big Leagues, like the Spanish, English, Italian and French ones.

“All the best Portuguese players have gone to play in the most important foreign Leagues, and of course I'd like to do that too.

“I have two big dreams: I'd like to play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo because he's simply the best. He's an idol, a world icon, an example for everyone.

“The mere fact of being next to him, being able to train with a 'monster' like him, would allow me to grow further.

“He best resembles self-sacrifice, iron will and humility. He wants to always improve. I'm totally inspired by him.

“I also dream of a golden 2019. I'd like to win the Golden Boy award, it's a fantastic prize. Last year I remained in contention until the last 40 candidates. This time I want to win."
