Benfica teenager Joao Felix has revealed that he wants to "play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo", potentially hinting at a move to Juventus.

Felix, 19, has scored seven times in 20 appearances for his Portuguese club during the 2018-19 campaign and is seen as one of the brightest young talents in European football.

Liverpool reportedly failed with a £61m bid for Felix during the January transfer window, with the Reds admirers of the teenager alongside the likes of Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona and Monaco.

Meanwhile, Manchester United are believed to have scouted the Portugal Under-21 international in recent weeks.

Felix has revealed that he will leave Benfica for one of the "most important foreign leagues" and has hinted at a move to Juventus to link up with Ronaldo.

"My future? It'll be a decision we make mutually," Felix told Tuttosport. "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."

Felix only signed a new long-term contract with Benfica in November.
