Atletico Madrid reportedly see Joao Felix as Antoine Griezmann's replacement.
The 19-year-old has 19 goals and 11 assists with Benfica this season.
Benfica want over $130 million for their phenom, although Atleti will only bid $107 million. Atleti president Miguel Angel Gil Marin has a good relationship with Felix's agent Jorge Mendes, giving the club a slight edge for his signature.
