Félix Alexandre Andrade Sanches Correia (born 22 January 2001) is a Portuguese professional footballer of Santomean descent, who plays as a forward for Primeira Liga club Gil Vicente, on loan from Juventus. [2]

Club career

Manchester City

Manchester City loaned Correia to Jong AZ for the 2019–20 season. On 23 August 2019, he made his Eerste Divisie debut for Jong AZ against TOP Oss. [3] Correia ended the season with 23 appearances, scoring three goals and providing five assists. [4]

Juventus U23

On 30 June 2020, Juventus agreed to sign Correia on a five-year deal, on a swap deal with Pablo Moreno heading the other way. [4] Correia scored his first goal and made his first assist for Juventus U23 on his Serie C debut, on 28 September 2020, against Pro Sesto, helping his side win 2–1. [5]

Juventus

Senior debut

Correia was first called-up for the first team on 13 January 2021, in a Coppa Italia game against Genoa. [6] He made his senior debut on 2 May, coming off the bench for Juan Cuadrado in the 83rd minute in a 2–1 league win against Udinese. [7]

Loan to Parma

On 13 August 2021, Correia was loaned to Serie B side Parma with an option to buy. [8] On 12 September, Correia debutted for Parma in a 4–0 win against Pordenone. [9]

Loan to Marítimo

On 31 January 2023, Correia was loaned to Marítimo for the rest of the season. [10] Pablo Moreno was also playing for Marítimo at the time; Moreno and Correia were swapped for each other three years earlier. [11]

Marítimo finished the season in 16th place, leading them to face Estrela da Amadora (who had finished 3rd in the Liga Portugal 2) in the relegation play-off. After a 3–3 draw (aggregate score over two legs), the game went to a penalty shootout. Correia missed the decisive penalty and Marítimo was relegated to the second division for the first time in 38 years. [12]

Loan to Gil Vicente

On 22 August 2023, Correia returned to Portugal in another new season-long loan to a Primeira Liga club, this time Gil Vicente. [13]
