If someone hits 100 million for Felix, the intention is not to sell.“100 million is a lot of money, there has never been a player sold for that amount in Portugal, but the goal is to win on the pitch and we will do everything in that direction. “Today, if they do not meet 120 million, the player stays.”Rather than readying themselves for the potential sale of Felix, Benfica are piecing together plans to keep him on their books. The Portuguese champions have a deal in place that is due to run until 2023, but are already plotting fresh terms.If they are able to reach a new agreement with Felix, then they will be able to increase his release clause and continue to fend off the mounting interest being shown from afar. Portuguese champions Benfica will, however, not be parting with a prized asset for any less than they consider him to be worth. They have a man who scored or assisted 31 goals in 2018-19 tied to a contract that includes a €120m (£106m/$134m) release clause and have informed those mulling over summer bids that they will not be moved from that asking price.Benfica’s executive manager Domingos Soares de Oliveira has told TVI124: “The goal is to keep the squad.
