Felix Correia spent some time with the Manchester City youth sides after arriving from Sporting in the summer of 2019.
After being loaned out to AZ Alkmaar for a season, the winger was sold permanently to Juventus. Even at the Bianconeri, the ex-City man never quite gained prominence and was sold to Gil Vicente in the summer.
Now impressing in the Portuguese top-flight, Correia has spoken to O Jogo. The left-winger was asked whether he has regrets about leaving Sporting to join the Citizens.
The 23-year-old was also asked about how he’s matured since his time in England, and Correia revealed that he is a completely different person now.
“My mindset was completely different and it helped me a lot to go abroad, live alone and have other experiences in my life, not just on the field. I think that was very important. In other words, I am a completely different Felix today.”
The Portuguese never played for City despite being in and around the squad multiple times.
So far in this campaign, he has three goals and two assists in eight league games for Gil Vicente and his stature as a first-team player is now rising.
