Diego Simeone is set to secure his first major signing of the summer by bringing in the Benfica wonderkid

João Félix is one of the most sought after forwards on the transfer market and all signs point to him joining Atletico Madrid. The youngster is already in the Spanish capital ahead of a potential announcement.

According to 'Record', the 19-year-old is in Spain looking to tie up his transfer to Diego Simeone's side.

Atletico are expected to pay the €120m buyout clause in the player's contract with Benfica and Felix will earn €6m per season.

The popular forward scored 15 goals and provided 9 assists last season and is on the wishlist of Manchester City too.

Felix made his full senior debut with Portugal on the 5th June in the Nations League semi-final against Switzerland.
