The 18-year-old currently plays in the Portuguese giant's academy and is a target for Barça B, with the belief he'll be ready for the first team in a couple of years time

FC Barcelona are not only looking to strengthen their first team squad next summer but are also planning for the future. Sporting Clube de Portugal's young winger, Felix Correia (18), is the latest name to be added to Barça's shortlist.

Correia, a Portuguese international from the U15s to the U19 squad, could be a key signing for the B side. The idea would be for him to spend two years with the youth team before being promoted to the first team, according to RAC1.

Born in Lisbon in 2001, Correia is a right winger in Sporting's youth academy. The scouting reports have suggested he's a player with similar characteristics to Ousmane Dembele.
