Manchester City are ready to push the boat out to land Benfica superkid Joao Felix.

The Sun says City are interested in Benfica's teenage playmaker but face stiff competition from Real Madrid and Manchester United for his signature.

Felix has been a revelation since breaking into the Benfica side and valued at more than £100million, is likely to find himself in demand this summer.

City are focused on strengthening at left back and Sporting director Txiki Begiristain was at Benfica recently watching Felix's team-mate Alex Grimaldo.

Felix, while not a player in their key area of concern, is one of the game's brightest teenage talents and the club retain an interest in him should he be available to depart Portugal this summer.
