Manchester City have beaten off competition from Barcelona and Juventus to land Sporting Lisbon winger Felix Correia.

The 18-year-old, who also plays for Portugal Under-19s, is expected in Manchester imminently to complete the move.

He is expected to be loaned out next season, with no decision taken yet as to his destination.

Reports in Portugal claim Correia will cost the Blues around £6.2million but City say the price is actually half of that.

Correia was pictured travelling to Manchester from Lisbon with his agent Eduardo Marinho and is expected to sign a five-year deal as long as his medical goes to plan.
