He told Zico, in an interview on his YouTube channel. And it couldn't be clearer. The future belongs to the rojiblanco . “He is still a boy, 20 years old. Portugal has the ability to highlight young people very easily. The Portuguese championship is a showcase for Europe. Players are among the cheapest in Europe, those who earn less, so the big teams go there and hire … But now it is not like that, now they have to pay 50, 70 million … 127 million paid for Joao Félix. 127 million! “He argued.
