The two European juggernauts are interested in securing the services of João Félix and Ruben Dias, according to Portuguese outlet Record.
The report further claims that both clubs are prepared to shell out a mammoth fee in the region of €180 million for the talented players.
Both Felix and Dias have been heavily impressive for Benfica in attack and defence respectively, which has seen them get linked with various clubs across the continent.
