Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly wants Joao Felix to join him at Juventus
CRISTIANO RONALDO has told Juventus to launch a ï¿¡100million raid for Benfica starlet Joao Felix, according to reports.
The youngster is enjoying a breakthrough season to catch the eye of Manchester United, among others.
And A Bola claims Ronaldo is urging the Old Lady to bring his fellow Portuguese to Turin.
He has trained with the promising young forward in the Portugal set-up and is believed to have been impressed with what he saw.
Felix, 19, is being touted as a future Ballon d'Or winner after scoring 13 times and adding seven assists in 22 league matches.
And he would bring new life to Juventus, who are looking to rebuild after failing to convert domestic success to Champions League glory.
Five-time winner Ronaldo was brought in to solve that problem but Ajax dumped the Italians out in the quarter-finals.
The former Real Madrid star has reportedly drawn up a shortlist of summer targets, with Felix his No1 pick.
Corriere dello Sport is claiming former team-mates Raphael Varane and Isco are also named.
Zinedine Zidane has insisted fellow countryman Varane is going nowhere.
But the defender's future is still being debated as United eye a swoop.
And wantaway Isco will have plenty of suitors after falling out of favour at the Bernabeu.
