    Manchester City may be interested in bringing young Portugal star Joao Felix to the Etihad, according to a report. However, bringing the second striker to the club would most likely be dependent on City’s outgoings.Felix joined Atletico following his breakout season at previous club Benfica, where he scored 15 goals and provided 9 a sists in 26 games, aged just 19.

The only way a move for Felix would make sense was if he was to be deployed as a left winger, given the competition he would face playing through the Alex Bregman Jersey middle.Given his rocky relationship with manager Simeone and his lack of minutes for much of last season, a move could be on the cards for Felix. How likely that his move will be to City is another thing entirely, however.Read More Manchester City Coverage
