Linked with a move to several European heavyweights, the teenage sensation will sort out his club future after his international commitments

Benfica and Portugal attacker Joao Felix will wait until after the Nations League final to sort out his future.

The 19-year-old is linked with several European heavyweights including Manchester City, Manchester United and Real Madrid.

Clubs are reportedly ready to trigger Joao Felix's €120 million (£106m/$134m) release clause with the teenager's rapid rise continuing on Wednesday as he made his international debut during Portugal's 3-1 win over Switzerland in the Nations League semi-finals.

Speaking after the game, the in-demand teenager said a decision on his club future was around the corner.

"Now I'm focused on the national team," Joao Felix told reporters.

"After finishing the Nations League, I'm going to resolve my life."

The forward scored 20 goals in all competitions for his club this season, quickly leading to comparisons to Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Benfica star is an avid admirer of the Juventus forward, who scored a sensational hat-trick to guide Portugal past Switzerland.

"He is an idol, a world icon, an example for everyone," Joao Felix told Tuttosport.

"The mere fact of being next to him, of being able to train with a monster like him, would allow me to grow further.

"He always wants to improve. He is an inspiration for me."
