According to Portuguese media "Globe", Benfica hopes to purchase 50% ownership of Felix for 25 million euros.
Benfica is currently committed to two signings, Felix and a winger who can replace Di Maria, and the determined target is Feyenoord player Annis Hadi Mousa.
Felix's deal is different from all other deals, and it will be operated more by Benfica chairman Rui Costa and player agent Jorge Mendes.
The current situation is good for Benfica. Chelsea hopes to get a good price for Felix. The player is not in Maresca's plan, but there is no better offer than Benfica: initially it was 20 million euros to buy 50% ownership, but it has now increased to 25 million euros.
British media reported that Wolves and West Ham were waiting and watching, and Felix had trained with other excluded players at Cobham.
Felix is working hard to get back to the best, as catching up with the Portuguese Super League Cup is still the goal. If you can't play against Portugal Sports on August 1, the deal will not fail. Rui Costa hopes Felix will join as soon as possible, and if it is impossible, he will wait.
Regarding the winger position, funds may be a problem. Benfica is spending money and must reserve about €25 million for Felix. The subsequent salary will also operate under the "Return Plan", which is set up for players returning to Portugal and has helped qualified players such as Joao Mario, Di Maria and Otamendi.
Annis Hadi Mousa is one of Feyenoord's main players, and Feyenoord asks for 20 million euros. They just brought in former Porto player Gonzalo Borges in the same position, suggesting that Moussa has a replacement, but Benfica may be looking for other cheaper targets in the market.
