Félix Correia Scout Report At Lille OSC 2025/2026: Ex-Manchester City & Juventus Talent Thriving In Ligue 1 – Player Analysis

Ligue 1 has no shortage of exciting attacking teams this season.

One such side is Lille OSC under Bruno Génésio, who have scored 23 goals in their first 12 league games of the campaign.

That tally is only good enough to place Lille as the fifth-highest goalscorers in Ligue 1 so far.

Meanwhile, Les Dogues have generated 22.93 xG this term, placing them third in this metric.

One of Génésio’s key attackers has been Félix Correia (178cm/5’10, 72kg/158lbs), who joined Lille from Gil Vicente in Liga Portugal for €7m this past summer.

The 23-year-old has had an eventful young career.

Starting in Sporting CP’s academy, Correia joined Manchester City at 18 years of age in 2019 for €4.55m but moved to Serie A giants Juventus for €10.5m a year later without making a first-team appearance for Pep Guardiola’s side.

The Portuguese playmaker appeared just once for Juventus’ first team, a five-minute cameo in Serie A versus Udinese under Andrea Pirlo in 2021, as his tenure at Allianz Stadium was packed with loan spells.

Correia found himself back home in Portugal last season after joining Gil Vicente from Juventus for €3.25m in the summer of 2024, scoring nine goals and providing four assists for the lower-table side, which earned him a move to Lille this past summer, where he has continued his improved form under Bruno Génésio tactics.
