Wolves
Felix could be the next in a series of Portugal stars to ply their trade at Molineux – and it’s safe to say he would slot in nicely in their set-up.
He could be used in their midfield three alongside compatriots Ruben Neves and Joao Moutinho.
With his eye for a pass and knack of picking up goals, could Felix be the man to propel the Wanderers into the top six next term?

West Ham
It would be an extraordinary coup if the Hammers managed to sign Felix, demonstrating their intent to compete with the big boys.
And he would fit in nicely in front of the likes of Mark Noble and Declan Rice in midfield.
He could also provide service to target man Marko Arnautovic and form a good relationship with fellow Portuguese-speaker and tricky winger Felipe Anderson on the wing.

Manchester United
The Red Devils are in serious need of an overhaul in the summer with a lot of the current crop simply not good enough.
Felix could be the player they build their team around as he has talent in abundance.
With Juan Mata on his way out of Old Trafford this summer, Felix could be the perfect replacement for years to come.
He may also be the marquee signing that can convince Paul Pogba to stay at the club.

Juventus
Many thought Juventus were had finally found the missing piece of the Champions League puzzle when they signed Cristiano Ronaldo, but they once again fell short in their bid to triumph in Europe for the first time since 1996.
However, they are the club who are favourites to sign Felix and the dime who has lit up Portuguese football could do what Ronaldo couldn’t and help the Old Lady to glory in Europe’s elite competition.
The teenager could slot into their formation in an attacking midfield role, dovetailing with compatriot Ronaldo and alternating positions, Miralem Pjanic and Blaise Matuidi can be uilised as the more defensive midfielders, allowing Felix to come in, while width would be provided by Alex Sandro and Juan Cuadrado at wing-back.
