Juventus set to sell Dybala and sign £87-rated 19-year-old star who is also wanted by Man City

- Paulo Dybala could be sold by Juventus in a bid to fund Joao Felix's signing this summer

- The youngster scored a hat-trick for Benfica in their Europa League clash few days back

- Felix has now emerged as top priority signing for the Serie A side as well as a number of other top European teams

Italian League giants Juventus have reportedly concluded plans to sell Paulo Dybala and fund the signing of Portugal teenage sensation Joao Felix.

The striker became the youngest player to net a hat-trick in an Europa League earlier this week after inspiring Benfica to 4-2 win over Eintracht in the first leg of their quarterfinal clash.

His goal tally for the season stands at 14 goals and two assists in 30 appearances for the topflight side - a massive feat for the 19-year-old.

Felix was promoted to Benfica's first team in the summer of 2018, and he has been one of the discoveries of the ongoing season.

He has a deal with his current club until June 2023, however, any club that want to sign him must cough out about £87 million to secure his services.

The youngster has been tipped as the next Cristiano Ronaldo of his generation and the Serie A side are considering a deal for the teenager, but want to sell Dybala to raise funds for him.

Meanwhile, Manchester United's hopes of landing the young striker could be endangered with the Italian League giants interest in the youngster.

SunSport also reports that Felix has made it known he would love to play alongside Ronaldo, which means that the deal will favour Juve more than United at the end of the day.

Speaking to Tuttosport, he said: "All the best Portuguese players have gone to play in the most important foreign leagues, and of course I'd like to do that too.

"I have two big dreams: I'd like to play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo because he's simply the best. He's an idol, a world icon, an example for everyone."

Legit.ng earlier reported that Manchester City are interested in signing Portuguese whizkid Joao Felix valued around £105 million.

The 19-year-old has been in hot form for his Primera Liga side this campaign, scoring ten goals and four assists in 18 league games.

SunSport reports that the attacker has also attracted interests from Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus due to his recent form.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
